This is an excellent opportunity for experienced LSAs, teaching assistants, or individuals with a background in care, youth work, or psychology who are looking to make a real difference in a child's life.

We're looking for people who:

  • Have previous experience working with children (ideally in a 1:1 or SEN capacity)
