• Experience: Previous experience working with children or young people is highly desirable.

• Compliance: An Enhanced DBS check is required (we can assist with your application if you do not have one on the Update Service).

• Qualities: Adaptability, professionalism, and a "can-do" attitude.

Note:

Degrees, PGCEs, or NCFE Level 3 in Supporting Teaching & Learning are advantageous but not essential.
