· Supporting 1:1 in class

· Help the students to access the curriculum and tailor the lesson activity to their level of ability

· Free DBS (refunded when you work 5 days).

· Subsidised initial DBS cost (we pay £20, you pay £30).

· Specialist support/ mentoring while you are working.


The pay rate is £12.81* an hour. The day is 7 hours with an unpaid 30 min lunch break. Your daily rate of pay would be £83.29* but with a potential to earn more based on level of experience. *Including holiday pay


If you think this could be a job for you, please get in touch to find out more. We are always available for an informal chat if you want to find out more about whether this role is suited to you.

Pay: Five Education operates a PAYE payroll; this is the most transparent way to be paid with no hidden fees such as admin fee or employers NI. We are also proud to be an accredited Living Wage employer. Please note pay rate is for illustration and does include holiday pay.
