Overview

Here at Blue Skies Education we are working in partnership with a school that offers education provisions to CYPs (children and young people) with SEMH profiles.

• A valid DBS or willingness to apply for one (£62).
• Proof of right to work.
• References.
• Degree-level education.
• UK residency.

Details

• Hours: 32 hours per week, day shifts over Mon to Fri (term time only).

• Location: Redbridge.
• Pay: £14-£15 per hour (PAYE).
