Support school policies on behaviour, attendance, and safeguarding.

What We’re Looking For:

Experience working with children in educational, care, or mentoring roles is highly desirable.
A compassionate, patient, and empathetic approach to supporting children’s needs.
Strong communication and interpersonal skills to build relationships with students and staff alike.
Flexibility and adaptability to work with different age groups and settings.
A commitment to making a positive difference in the lives of children.
An understanding of safeguarding principles (training provided).
Driving License and access to a car is desirable due to some of our setting’s rural locations

What We Offer:

Competitive hourly rates (£12.82 to £14.61 per hour).
Flexibility to choose working days and hours that suit your schedule.
Opportunities to work in diverse educational settings across Shropshire.
Ongoing support and training to enhance your professional development.
A fulfilling role where you’ll help shape children’s futures.
