About this role
Looking for a role where you can genuinely make a difference to a young person's day?

Whether you're experienced in education or coming from another people-focused background, we'd love to hear from you.

Schools are often looking for people who can build strong relationships, stay calm under pressure, and provide consistent support to young people who need it most.
