Helping children with different learning styles access the curriculum
Spotting when someone’s struggling and stepping in with patience
Working closely with the class teacher to keep everything running smoothly
Supporting small groups or 1:1 when needed—reading, writing, numeracy and more

We’d love to hear from you if you:
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).

Free online training through our CPD Academy
Easy booking management via the myProtocol app
