This is a varied role supporting pupils in primary, secondary and SEND settings, making it a good option for anyone who enjoys working with children and young people and wants to gain more experience in education.

You don't need to be a qualified teacher. Depending on the school and age group, you'll be supporting learning, supervising pupils, helping with activities and making sure students remain engaged and settled throughout the day.

The role could suit experienced Cover Supervisors, Teaching Assistants, Learning Support Assistants, Learning Mentors, Behaviour Mentors, graduates, youth workers, sports coaches and childcare professionals.

What you'll be doing

Your day-to-day work will depend on the school, but may include:

• Supporting pupils with classroom activities and learning
• Supervising groups of children and young people
• Following lesson plans and activities provided by teaching staff
• Helping pupils stay focused and engaged
• Providing encouragement and support where needed
• Managing behaviour in a calm and positive way
• Supporting pupils with additional needs where appropriate
• Helping create a safe and welcoming classroom environment

• Can build good relationships with children
• Communicate well with pupils and staff
• Are reliable, flexible and organised
• Can adapt to different schools and age groups
• Have an Enhanced DBS or are willing to apply for one

• Weekly PAYE pay
• Flexible work to suit your availability
