• Availability: Full-time availability during standard school hours (Monday to Friday, term-time).
• Transferable Experience: Background working with young people or vulnerable individuals, such as youth clubs, sports coaching, childcare, or graduate mentoring.
• Mindset: Strong interpersonal skills, patience, and a "can-do" approach to teamwork.
• Vetting: Enhanced DBS registered on the Update Service (or readiness to complete one prior to start).
• Eligibility: Right to work in the UK.

Why Step Into This Role?

• Predictable Schedule: Work standard school hours (Monday to Friday, 8:30 AM - 3:30 PM) with weekends and holidays off.
• Direct PAYE Pay: £85.00 - £105.00 per day (Up to £525 per week) with zero umbrella admin charges.
• Career Progression: Gain hands-on experience perfect for future Teacher Training (PGCE/QTS), Educational Psychology, or SEN specialist pathways.
• Continuous Learning: Access free accredited training modules covering Safeguarding, Behaviour De-escalation, and SEN strategies.
