The young person experiences significant anxiety around returning to school and would benefit from a calm, consistent mentor who can help build confidence and routine.
The student has a diagnosis of ASD and suspected ADHD (awaiting formal assessment). A flexible, understanding approach is essential.

- Ability to adapt teaching styles to suit emotional readiness and learning gaps
Someone who is:

- Confident supporting learners with additional needs
- Able to plan tailored sessions and adjust based on mood and engagement
- Committed to helping young people re-connect with education
