This is an excellent opportunity for someone who is passionate about supporting young people and would enjoy working within a busy secondary-school environment. The successful candidate will work with pupils individually and in small groups, helping them remain engaged, develop confidence and make progress in their learning.

The school is particularly interested in applicants who can serve as positive role models and build strong, professional relationships with pupils.

Helping pupils remain focused, engaged and motivated
Supporting students with additional learning or pastoral needs
Promoting positive behaviour and reinforcing the school’s expectations
Working closely with teachers, pastoral staff and the SEND team
Helping to create a safe, inclusive and encouraging learning environment

The ideal candidate will:

Be confident working with secondary-school-aged pupils
Have a calm, patient and professional approach
Be able to build positive relationships while maintaining appropriate boundaries
Be reliable, resilient and able to work as part of a team
Have good written and spoken English
Be committed to safeguarding and supporting the welfare of young people
Have previous experience working with children or young people

Experience in a school, youth work, mentoring, coaching, sports, care or another child-focused setting would be advantageous. Graduates interested in education, psychology, youth work or teaching are also encouraged to apply.

The successful applicant will be subject to the school’s safeguarding and recruitment requirements, including an enhanced DBS check, satisfactory references and relevant right-to-work checks.
