We are working in partnership with an Alternative Provision school in Hull (HU2) that specialises in re-engaging children and young people with education.

THIS ROLE IS ABOUT MORE THAN LEARNING

The pupils in this setting may have experienced barriers to education, challenging circumstances or difficulties engaging with mainstream school.

Your role will be about helping them rebuild confidence, develop positive relationships and discover that education can work for them.

Sometimes progress might be completing a lesson.

Sometimes it's staying in the classroom.

Sometimes it's simply having a good day.

Every small step matters.
