• Weekly PAYE pay
• Support from your own dedicated consultant

What you’ll be doing

Your duties will vary between schools, but typically include:

• Setting up the classroom for lessons
• Delivering pre-prepared work to classes
• Keeping students focused and engaged
• Offering support to pupils who need a little extra help
• Tidying the classroom after lessons

Because some roles arise at short notice, having your own transport is beneficial.
