• Confidence planning Maths and/or English sessions in line with the national curriculum
• An Enhanced DBS on the Update Service, or willingness to apply (we’ll support you)
• Patience, flexibility and a genuine interest in helping young people who find school difficult

It would be great if you also have

• QTS or another teaching qualification
• Experience supporting students with EHCPs or SEND
