• Working alongside teachers and SENCOs to support lesson delivery

• Contributing to a positive, safe, and happy classroom environment

• Offering encouragement and reassurance to help students succeed

We’re Looking for People Who:

• Work well as part of a team and independently

• Have great interpersonal skills and confidence to engage students

• Want to make a difference for children in North Tyneside schools

• Might have experience in roles like nannying, youth work, care work, sports coaching—or just have a real passion for helping young people grow
