Maintain high expectations for pupil progress, behaviour and inclusion.
The Ideal Candidate Will:

Be patient, resilient, proactive and able to build positive relationships with pupils.
Maintain high expectations for pupil progress, behaviour and wellbeing.
Show a clear commitment to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children.

Ready2Work app – Control your availability, bookings and schedule — all from one place.
Crystal-clear pay - No surprises. PAYE or Umbrella — you choose, we guide.
