Students are placed with Fair Ways when most other mainstream or specialist schools have failed them. As such, they are likely to have been out of education for a long period of time, having exhausted multiple placements.

In this role you will be involved exciting and rewarding things like:

Providing support to students both onsite in lessons and offsite in exciting activities.
Supporting teaching staff to deliver outstanding learning opportunities.
Providing a good example and offering suitable support and direction through the demonstration of honest, understanding and proactive behaviour.
Working as part of a supportive and experienced team showing resilience, initiative and adaptability.
