  • Behaviour Management: Effectively implement the school's behaviour policy and deal with any immediate issues promptly according to school procedures.

  • Support Learning: Respond to general queries from students regarding pre-set work, helping them stay engaged without providing subject-specific teaching.

  • Administrative Duties: Register student attendance and leave detailed notes for the returning teacher regarding lesson progress and behaviour.

  • School Ethos: Act as a positive role model, promoting the school's values and maintaining high expectations.

Your Exciting Benefits:

  • Excellent classroom experience-ideal preparation for teacher training (PGCE/SCITT).

  • Your own dedicated and experienced consultant to guide you through the application process.

  • Experience: Previous experience working with groups of young people (schools, youth work, coaching, etc.).

  • Communication: Excellent interpersonal skills with the ability to build rapport quickly with teenagers.

  • Academic Background: A degree is advantageous, particularly for those considering future teacher training.

  • Compliance: Possession of an Enhanced Child DBS on the Update Service (or willingness to acquire a new one).

  • Reliability: Punctuality and a flexible approach to working across different subject areas daily.
