Use your experience to inspire the next generation. Many of our students with SEMH needs or SEN have faced challenges that have left them feeling discouraged or disconnected from education. Every young person deserves someone who won't give up on them - could that be you?

We're looking for proactive and person-centered education professionals to plan and deliver personalised learning sessions that spark curiosity, confidence and a sense of hope for our young people who are out of mainstream education. You'll have the opportunity and freedom to deliver learning in the way you feel best meets the student's needs. This role offers a genuine opportunity to make a lasting, positive difference.

What you'll be doing:

  • Providing 1:1 or 2:1 support to children and young people in their homes or a suitable public setting.
  • Delivering personalised, creative sessions that reflect each learner's needs, interests and abilities.
  • Monitoring and reporting on student progress after each session and setting clear, achievable targets to support ongoing development.
  • Conducting risk assessments and ensuring safeguarding procedures are followed.
  • Working flexibly (on a bank staff contract) and term‐time only, with sessions typically lasting 3 to 5 hours during the school day.

Who we're looking for:

  • Education professionals with at least one year experience supporting young people with SEN and SEMH needs, including ASD, communication needs and challenging behaviours.
  • Those from secondary and Post‐16 backgrounds, including specialist SEND settings (experience with Makaton, PECS and behaviour support is an advantage).
  • Individuals with a minimum of 2 consistent weekdays of availability.
  • Professionals with up-to-date understanding of safeguarding and child protection.

What you can expect from Fresh Start in Education:

  • £25–£35 per hour, depending on experience.
  • Travel subsidy & £15 per day resource allowance.
  • Free access to counselling and wellbeing services, pension options and store discounts.
  • CPD and training opportunities.
  • Dedicated line manager support.
  • Bank staff role (PAYE), offering both short‐term and long‐term placements.
