The ideal candidate should be proactive  and comfortable working with pupils in a Secondary School setting.

We are looking for a candidate who can build positive relationships, adapt to different classroom environments, and support pupils with a range of learning needs.

You will be patient, adaptable and confident in supporting adolescents with a range of learning and emotional needs, able to build positive relationships while maintaining clear boundaries and expectations. Availability for day‑to‑day supply work is essential, with flexibility to work across different schools as required. Due to the location of some schools, access to your own transport is desirable.
