* Patient, calm, and emotionally intelligent approach
* Able to build trust while maintaining clear boundaries
* Creative and engaging – able to use play as a tool for learning
* Reliable and consistent – this is key for young learners
* Driving licence and access to a vehicle preferred
What We Offer:
* Support from experienced Lead Learning Mentors
* A welcoming, positive team culture

Who We Are:
We are an Alternative Learning Provision (ALP) supporting children and young people aged 4–25. Our focus is simple — build relationships first, then learning follows. We help young learners overcome early barriers and develop the confidence and skills they need to move forward into education.
