What they all have in common is the need for consistent, emotionally intelligent support — and that's where you come in.
Why this role matters:
You’ll be working directly with pupils who rely on the presence of people who care — people who show up, listen, and support. This work isn’t easy, but it’s real, and it matters. No two days will be the same — but every one of them will count.
Whether you’re aiming for a career in teaching, psychology, therapy, or inclusive education — or simply want a year of impact and clarity before your next step — this experience will stay with you for life.
We’re looking for graduates who are:
Reliable, thoughtful, and genuinely motivated by helping others

A clear path to permanent employment if the placement goes well
Mentoring, guidance, and access to further opportunities in education
A structured routine with evenings and weekends free
This isn’t just about building a CV — it’s about discovering what drives you and where you thrive.
If you’re ready to step into a role that offers both challenge and reward — and gives you the chance to grow personally and professionally — I’d love to hear from you.
