Our committed and friendly Student Support team predominantly works within class, under the direction of the teacher.

Experience of working with young people in an educational setting is desirable but we would also welcome applications from graduates who may wish to train to teach in the future. If you have transferable skills and are passionate about education; committed to making a difference and have the know-how and skills to support students with complex needs in bridging their learning gaps; if you are able to balance care and support with challenge, rules and high expectations, we would like to hear from you now!
