-
Liaise with school staff and report back on student progress or issues.
About You:
-
Confident, resilient, and able to manage a classroom effectively.
-
Strong communication and interpersonal skills.
-
Experience working with young people (in education, youth work, coaching, or similar) is an advantage.
-
A genuine interest in education and supporting student learning.
-
Flexible and reliable, with the ability to adapt quickly to new settings.
-
Enhanced DBS check (or willingness to apply for one).

Flexible working — choose when and where you work.
-
Competitive daily rates.
-
Opportunity to gain valuable classroom experience.
-
Ideal preparation for a future career in teaching.
-
Supportive, friendly team and ongoing professional development opportunities.
If you’re motivated, enthusiastic, and ready to make a difference in local secondary schools, we’d love to hear from you!
