What We Are Looking For:
A degree (in any subject) or significant experience working with groups of young people (e.g., coaching, youth work, or military background).
Confidence and presence: The ability to command a classroom and engage with pupils aged 11-16.
Excellent communication skills and the ability to adapt to different subject areas quickly.
A reliable, punctual, and professional approach to work.
