We're working with secondary schools across Cornwall looking for confident, reliable people to step in and supervise lessons when teachers are absent. This is a great opportunity if you've worked with young people before - maybe in sports coaching, tutoring, youth work or even classroom support - and want to gain more school-based experience.

What we're looking for:

• Experience working with young people (in or out of schools)

• A strong classroom presence and good behaviour management

• Someone calm, confident, and reliable

• A DBS on the Update Service (or happy to apply for one)

• Flexibility to travel to different schools- public transport or car

What's on offer:

• Up to 110 a day

• Regular, flexible work in schools across Cornwall

• A variety of placements to suit your availability and experience

• A dedicated consultant who'll keep it simple and honest

• Full support with training, compliance and next steps
