  • A genuine passion for working with young people, especially those with additional learning or behavioural needs
  • Good communication and interpersonal skills
  • Commitment to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of learners
  • Willingness to work towards a teaching or assessing qualification if not already held

  • Knowledge of SEMH (Social, Emotional and Mental Health) needs and/or SLC (Speech, Language and Communication) support

  • A workplace that values your industry experience and your care for learners
  • The chance to play a key role in changing the trajectory of young people's lives
