We're Looking For

• Cache Level 2/3 or minimum 6 months experience working with young people
• Confident communication and the ability to lead a classroom
• Adaptability, resilience and a willingness to learn
• A genuine interest in education and supporting young people
• Relevant experience in childcare, coaching, support work, mentoring, tutoring or youth services is valued

What You'll Gain

• Hands‑on classroom experience essential for progressing into teaching
• Excellent rates of pay (£110-£130 per day)
• 24/7 consultant support for guidance and placements
