- Have strong experience supporting neurodivergent young people
- Have demonstrated experience with behaviours of concern
- Have experience working with and implementing PBSPs
- Be confident with positive behaviour support and de-escalation
- Remain calm and consistent during challenging situations
- Understand person-centred and trauma-informed approaches
- Be able to build genuine rapport while maintaining professional boundaries
- Be proactive and confident working independently
- Have strong communication and documentation skills
- Be reliable and committed to providing consistent support
