What we're looking for:

  • A compassionate, patient and adaptable individual who enjoys working with young people.

  • Previous experience in education, care, SEN or supporting individuals with additional needs is desirable.

  • Confidence supporting students with a range of complex needs.

  • Someone who is comfortable providing personal care.

  • Strong communication skills and the ability to work effectively as part of a team.

  • A positive personality and the ability to be a great role model in the classroom.

  • Must be available Monday-Friday, 8:30am-3:30pm.

  • Must be happy travelling to Ashford, Canterbury and surrounding areas.
