- Essential:
- A degree, or a final-year student about to graduate
- GCSE English and maths at grade 4/C or above
- Confidence, composure and a positive presence in front of a class
- Reliability and a willingness to learn quickly
- A commitment to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children
- The right to work in the UK
- Helpful, but not essential:
- Experience supporting young people, through work, volunteering, tutoring or sport
- Knowledge of additional needs such as autism, ADHD or dyslexia
- A subject strength that links to secondary school teaching
- An ambition to train as a teacher in the future
What you'll get from us:
- A consultant who knows local schools and will support you from the first call
