The Role & You

You will be expected to work with small groups of students or on a 1:1 basis with the students within the classroom. They follow an adapted curriculum to suit their learning needs which includes key subjects like Maths and English, but many vocational subjects too.
You will be expected to support them in the classroom, ensuring they remain engaged, attentive and interactive, whilst helping them to manage and maintain their behaviour.
You may also be required to assist in taking certain students out of the classroom, either to work separately, for 'time out' or to attend certain intervention sessions or meetings with them.
A calm and relaxed but firm approach is necessary for this role, alongside a resilient personality to deal with volatile attitudes which may arise.

Applicants who work well within schools and show initiative may be offered long term contracts or even permanent roles within the schools for the new school year.
