Are you passionate about demonstrating the value of education to vulnerable children?

We are looking for a dedicated Pastoral & Learning Support Assistant (LSA) to join a friendly team and work in a challenging school for boys aged 6-18.

Many of the children face various barriers in life and are more 'at risk' of negative outcomes.
