This position is perfect for graduates aiming to gain classroom experience, experienced supply staff, or anyone looking for rewarding, flexible work that fits around other commitments.

• Skills & Personality: You must be confident, proactive, and resilient, with a strong classroom presence and excellent communication skills.
• Core Skills: Good literacy and numeracy skills (GCSE Grade C/4 or equivalent in English and Maths) to assist students with their tasks.
