  • Graduates exploring a career in teaching or education
  • Individuals with youth work or care experience looking to transition into schools
What We’re Looking For
  • Experience supporting young people in education, care, or youth settings
  • Confidence managing classroom behaviour in a positive, calm way
  • An understanding of, or willingness to learn about, SEND and SEMH needs
  • Strong communication skills and the ability to build positive relationships
  • A flexible, patient, and resilient approach to challenges

A degree or Level 3 qualification is desirable, but not essential if you have relevant experience.
