This is an excellent opportunity for individuals who are passionate about making a difference, helping students re-engage with education and build positive futures.

• Experience working with children or young people with challenging behaviour, SEMH, or trauma

• A resilient, calm, and supportive approach

• Strong communication and de-escalation skills

• A genuine passion for inclusion and helping young people succeed

• Experience in youth work, residential care, or sports coaching is desirable but not essential

• PAYE only - no umbrella companies

• Access to over 2,500 free CPD courses via The National College

• Comprehensive safeguarding and behaviour management training

• Experienced consultants who specialise in SEND and alternative provision

• Flexible and long-term roles to suit your availability

• Opportunities for career development in alternative education settings
