Start Date: September 2025

UK applicants only. This role does not offer sponsorship.

Your Key Responsibilities

• Support individual pupils or small groups, both inside and outside the classroom

• Support teachers with lesson planning and delivery where appropriate
• Foster a calm, safe, and supportive space for every pupil to grow

This role may suit you if you're currently working in:

• Retail, hospitality, or other customer-facing roles and looking for a meaningful career change
• A school or care setting and want to deepen your impact
• Or if you are just beginning your journey into education and are ready to learn and grow

You’ll Be:

• Compassionate, calm, and patient
• Resilient and adaptable to changing situations
• A strong team player with good communication skills
• Motivated by helping young people achieve their potential

We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of pupils. All applicants will be subject to social media checks and successful applicants to a fully enhanced DBS.
