What We’re Looking For

• Experience supporting children in KS2 or upper primary.

• A patient, adaptable, and enthusiastic approach to learning.

• Good communication skills and a collaborative mindset.

• A genuine passion for helping children reach their potential.

Perks & Benefits

• Competitive daily rate (£85–£100).

• Term-time hours (8:30am – 3:30pm) for great work-life balance.
