• Your own car and a full UK driving licence.
• An updated DBS certificate (or a valid police clearance certificate if you've lived outside the UK for over 6 months in the last 5 years).

While an NVQ Level 3 in Children and Young People (or equivalent) is desirable, we are looking for individuals with excellent communication and interpersonal skills, the ability to work well in a team and independently, and a genuine commitment to the welfare of children. A strong understanding of safeguarding policies is also essential.
