Sessions happen in school and off site at sports, outdoor and cultural venues. Your job is to be a consistent, safe and positive adult in their week.

Posts: 1 full-time post (30 hours a week) and 1 part-time post (18 hours a week), permanent, term time only.

Base: our office is in Staple Hill; you'll work in schools and venues across South Gloucestershire and B&NES.

Pay: £14.00–£15.00 an hour. Full-time £18,360–£19,670 a year; part-time £11,010–£11,800 a year, both including holiday pay.

• workplace pension
• 50p a mile mileage
