What We're Looking For
- Experience supporting children or young people (education, care, youth work, mentoring, coaching or similar)
- Confidence managing behaviour in a calm, supportive and consistent manner
- A patient, resilient and adaptable approach
- Applicants from sports coaching or mentoring backgrounds are strongly encouraged
- Candidates must be fully compliant, including a DBS on the update system and two professional references
Why Apply
