• Professionalism: Ensuring the classroom is left tidy and providing brief feedback to the returning teacher regarding student progress.

• Experience: Previous experience working with groups of children or young people (e.g., as a coach, tutor, or supervisor) is highly desirable.

• QTS Preferred: Qualified Teacher Status is an advantage, but we welcome applications from confident individuals with strong communication skills and a degree-level background.

• Authority: The ability to command a classroom with a calm yet firm presence.

• Flexibility: A proactive "can-do" attitude and the ability to think on your feet in a fast-paced secondary setting.

• Compliance: Enhanced DBS clearance (on the Update Service) and a full 10-year employment history.

• Competitive Pay: Earn between £110 and £160 per day, depending on your experience and background.
