What We’re Looking For • Experience in a secondary school or working with young people aged 11–18. • A flexible, approachable, and patient attitude. • Strong communication skills and the ability to motivate learners. • An interest in supporting a range of academic and pastoral needs. Perks & Benefits • Competitive daily rate (£90–£100). • Term-time schedule (8:30am – 3:30pm) for work-life balance. • Supportive staff team and access to CPD opportunities. • A varied and fulfilling role in a thriving secondary school.
