Managing behaviour and maintaining discipline in line with school policies

Keeping students on task and minimising disruption

Has strong behaviour management and a confident classroom presence

Can build respect quickly and set clear boundaries

Is calm under pressure and consistent in their approach

Has experience working with young people (schools, coaching or mentoring)

Why this role stands out:

A real opportunity to develop classroom authority and leadership skills

Work in a variety of school environments

Flexible opportunities with potential for long-term placements

Ongoing support from a team who understand the demands of the role

If you’re confident managing behaviour and can take control of a classroom from the moment you walk in, this is the role for you.
