Requirements:

  • Previous work with children (school, nursery, or childcare settings)
  • Strong behavior management abilities and the capacity to adapt to various learning needs
  • GCSE Grade C/4 (or equivalent) in Maths and English
  • A total commitment to safeguarding, requiring an Enhanced DBS on the update service (or a willingness to apply for one)
  • A proactive, patient, and caring attitude

Nice to have:

  • ability to track progression in attainment
  • background in youth work
  • de-escalation techniques
  • experience in administering medication
  • experience in managing challenging behaviour
  • experience with autism spectrum disorders
  • experience with learning difficulties
  • experience with social emotional mental health

What we offer:

  • Flexibility: Options for full-time or part-time work to fit your lifestyle
  • Specialist Support: Guidance from an education consultant and a referral bonus scheme (£300)
