  • A proactive attitude and the ability to think on your feet
  • Excellent communication and behaviour management skills
  • The ability to build trust and strong relationships with students who may be disaffected or vulnerable

What the School Offers:

  • A supportive and experienced team who genuinely care about the students'' progress
  • Ongoing professional development and guidance
  • A chance to make a real difference to young people''s lives
  • A structured but flexible working environment

This role is perfect for someone who isn''t afraid of a challenge and is passionate about giving young people a second chance.
