• Are committed to safeguarding young people and helping them overcome difficulties
• Are committed to ensuring students maximise every opportunity to achieve academically and personally
• Are able to work within a dynamic and challenging environment
• Have excellent communication and teamwork skills

Whilst this role is similar to, it does differ from a support role in a mainstream setting, however, if you have experience as a Learning Support Assistant (LSA), Teaching Assistant, Behaviour Mentor, Youth Support worker or similar, we would be interested in hearing from you.

The role is offered on a 1-year fixed-term contract basis after a successful 60 trial period with the intention to offer permanent contracts from September 2025. This is a great opportunity for anyone looking for a role that offers training opportunities, progression opportunities within the organisation and to be part of a supportive organisation that has expansion plans in the near future.
