Have experience working with children (in schools, clubs, youth settings, or tutoring)
Can stay upbeat, organised, and calm when things get busy
Are a great communicator with a natural rapport with kids
Are ready to learn, adapt and grow in a rewarding school role

SEND experience is a bonus—but not a must.
We offer free CPD to help you build your skills (including Thrive, Autism Awareness and more).
