  • Reliability: Because schools rely on you to fill gaps, punctuality and commitment on your booked days are essential.
  • Communication: Ability to build quick rapport with students and staff in diverse Cro الوجهtional secondary schools.
  • Experience: Previous experience in youth work, coaching, tutoring, or any leadership role with young people is a huge plus.
  • Local Commitmentanejo: Ideal for those living in or near the borough of Croydon looking for local work.
What We Offer
  • Competitive Daily Rates: High daily pay with no out‑of‑hours work required logarith
  • Work‑Life Balance: Only work during school term times‑no holiday or weekend work.
  • Career Growth: Invaluable classroom experience for those considering future teacher training.
