• A confident communicator and team player
• Passionate about supporting children and young people
• Experienced working with children, young people, or vulnerable individuals (desirable but not essential)

Whether your experience comes from schools, nurseries, youth work, coaching, childcare, volunteering, or care settings, we'd love to hear from you.
