Resilience: You must be able to handle verbal aggression and challenging physical behaviours without taking it personally.
Experience: Previous experience working with vulnerable youth (Youth Clubs, PRUs, Residential Care, or SEN Schools).
Strong Character: A firm but fair approach with the ability to build rapport quickly.
Commitment: Reliable individuals who understand that consistency is vital for our students.
Location: Based in or able to commute easily to Blackpool.
Benefits
Competitive Pay: Daily rate of £98.89-£125 paid weekly.
Work-Life Balance: Fixed school hours (08:45 - 15:45) with no weekends.
Impact: The opportunity to make a genuine, life-changing impact on local Blackpool youth.
Training: Access to specialist training (e.g., Team-Teach, Safeguarding Level 2).
