Requirements:

Experience working with children or young people in schools, youth work, coaching, or tutoring.

*

Confident behaviour management skills and the ability to command authority in a classroom.

*

Excellent communication, resilience, and adaptability.

Minimum of 5 GCSEs at grade C/4 or above (including English and Maths), or equivalent.
