• Help build confidence and motivation in students who find English challenging

  
  

• Collaborate with class teachers and SEN teams to monitor progress

  
  

• Contribute to a positive, engaging classroom environment

  
  The Ideal Candidate Will Have:

  • Experience supporting students in English or literacy-focused settings

    
    

  • A strong understanding of the English curriculum (KS3 and KS4)

    
    

  • Excellent communication skills and the ability to build rapport with young people

    
    

  • A patient, encouraging, and proactive approach to learning support

    
    

  • Relevant qualifications or experience (e.g., degree in English, TA qualification, tutoring background)

    
    

  • Knowledge of safeguarding and child protection procedures

    
    In Return, You Will Receive:

    • A long-term, rewarding role in a supportive school

      
      

    • Dedicated consultant support throughout your placement

      
      

    • Access to CPD courses and free training via our My-Progression platform

      
      

    • Competitive daily rates of pay

      
      

    • PAYE payment – no hidden fees or umbrella deductions

      
      

    • Referral bonuses through the TeacherActive Referral Scheme (T&Cs apply)
