Ideal Candidate

• Confident, adaptable, and able to manage groups of young people.

• A genuine interest in education and supporting pupils’ development.

Benefits

• Competitive daily rates.

• Flexible work to suit your availability – full-time, part-time, or ad-hoc.

• Valuable classroom experience for aspiring teachers.
