Looking for flexible work that fits around your studies, family or other commitments?
Enlightenment Education is looking for reliable and enthusiastic people to support schools across Derby and the surrounding areas on an ad hoc basis.
This could be a great opportunity for university students studying courses such as Education, Childhood Studies, Psychology, Counselling, Social Work, Youth Work or SEND , as well as people with relevant experience from other backgrounds.
You don't need to be an experienced Teaching Assistant to apply.
However, we're looking for people who have something to bring to the table whether that's relevant study, previous work with children or young people, care experience, coaching, mentoring, volunteering or other transferable skills.
Could this be you?
You might be:
-
A university student looking for work alongside your studies
-
Studying Education, Psychology, Childhood Studies, SEND, Counselling or a related subject
-
A parent looking for occasional school work
-
Working in another role but looking for additional flexible days
-
Someone with previous childcare, care, youth work, sports or mentoring experience
-
Considering a career in education and wanting to gain valuable school experience
What we're looking for
Most importantly, you must have:
-
Strong communication skills
-
Good spoken and written English
-
A professional and reliable approach
-
Confidence working with children and young people
-
Patience and the ability to remain calm
-
A genuine interest in supporting pupils
-
The ability to adapt quickly to different school environments
-
Relevant experience, qualifications, study or transferable skills
Experience of SEND, autism, ADHD, SEMH or behaviour is an advantage, but training and support will be provided where appropriate .
What could you be doing?
Our schools may need support with:
-
1:1 pupil support
-
SEND and specialist provisions
-
Classroom support
-
Behaviour support
-
Supporting pupils with additional needs
-
Helping children access learning

Every school and every day is different, which makes this ideal for people who enjoy a varied working environment.
