- Right to work in the UK (e.g. passport or BRP with a valid share code)
- An Overseas Police Check if you have lived abroad
- Experience working with young people (schools, youth work, sports coaching, tutoring, or similar)
- Confident communication skills and a strong classroom presence
- A calm and professional approach, even on busy days
Nice to Have (Not Essential)
- Training or qualifications in education, childcare, or youth work
What You’ll Get with Supply Bank Education
- Weekly PAYE pay – no umbrella companies
- Free access to CPD and training resources
- Ongoing support from a dedicated consultant
