- You've gained at least 3 months of referenceable experience working with children or young people-whether through placements, volunteering, mentoring, or paid roles.
- You have a natural sense of empathy, patience, and resilience.
What's on Offer:
- £95/day PAYE - No umbrella companies!
- Equal pay to permanent staff from week 13.
- New DBS refund after 20 working days.
- CPD opportunities via Step, National College & Creative Education.

- Ongoing support from a dedicated consultant with over a decade of experience in education recruitment in Greater Manchester.
Inside the School:
