Requirements:

* A strong passion for working with young people, especially those facing behavioural issues or challenges in education or personal life.

* Ability to see beyond challenging behaviour and help learners develop the skills they need to succeed.

* Experience working with young people with behavioural issues, although formal teaching qualifications are not required (training can be provided).

* Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to motivate and inspire learners.

* A commitment to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of young people.
