Build rapport with students who may have disengaged from traditional education
Work collaboratively with parents/carers, education consultants, and local authorities
Support reintegration into school settings or transitions to specialist provision
Adapt your teaching style to suit a wide range of needs and backgrounds

What We’re Looking For:

Minimum 6 months experience supporting young people with SEND, SEMH, or challenging behaviour
Empathetic, calm, and resilient mindset with a trauma-informed approach
Ability to plan and deliver creative, engaging learning activities
Flexibility to work around individual learner needs and schedules
Commitment to safeguarding and inclusive practice
An Enhanced DBS on the update service (or willingness to obtain one)

What We Offer:

Competitive pay, paid weekly
Ongoing CPD opportunities and support
Flexible working arrangements to suit your schedule
A dedicated team of consultants available 24/7
