• Leading a class using pre-set work left by the teacher
• Managing behaviour and setting clear expectations

• Being a positive, steady presence in the classroom
• Working closely with school staff to keep the day running smoothly

Think confident guidance, not formal teaching.

What we’re looking for

• Experience working with children or young people (schools, youth work, sports coaching, mentoring, care, etc.)
• Confidence managing groups and setting boundaries
• A calm, approachable manner
• Reliability and flexibility
• A genuine interest in supporting young people

No QTS, PGCE or teaching qualification required.
