We’re on the lookout for a bold, creative and compassionate Education Assessment Lead to work 1:1 with up to 8 children across our unique homes.

• Can connect with young people who’ve faced challenges
• Loves to think outside the box (and outside the classroom!)
• Has a calm, positive, and professional vibe - even when the day gets wild

You’ll work closely with our Education Manager and the wider team around each child to design and deliver a meaningful education offer, whether that’s for a 17-week placement or something longer-term.

What’s in it for you?

• 24/7 employee assistance and counselling programme
• Fully funded CPD + recognised qualifications
• “Above and Beyond” recognition scheme
• Amazing peer and team support
• A chance to change lives, every single day
