  • Support learning in the classroom
  • Work with small groups of pupils
  • Help children stay engaged and focused
  • Support children with additional needs

  • Become a trusted adult within the school community

Full support and guidance can be provided.

  • Positive and enthusiastic
  • Passionate about helping young people succeed

If this sounds like you, we'd love to hear from you.
