A patient, calm and resilient approach to supporting challenging behaviour

Strong communication and relationship-building skills

A genuine passion for helping young people overcome barriers to learning

A relevant qualification in education, childcare, youth work or psychology (desirable but not essential)

What We Offer:

Ongoing support from a dedicated education recruitment consultant

Opportunities for training and professional development

The chance to make a meaningful impact in the lives of young people
