Yes
Why?
It's a lovely place to work and the qualifications are extremely important and paid for by Keys.

Involve yourself in everything you can from the beginning. Go to meetings (when you can) even if you don't need to be there, such as EHCP, PEP reviews etc to gain as much knowledge as you can.
