We're Looking For:

• Experience working with children, young people, or vulnerable individuals.
• Someone who is patient, confident, and able to build trust quickly.
• A proactive individual with strong communication skills.
• Experience with SEMH, SEND, behaviour support, youth work, coaching, or care work is advantageous.

Requirements:

• Full-time availability.
• Ability to provide 24 months of references covering employment and/or education.
• A Child Workforce Enhanced DBS registered on the Update Service.
• Right to work in the UK.

What You'll Gain:

• Competitive weekly pay.

• Ongoing support from a dedicated consultant.
• The opportunity to make a genuine impact on a child's educational journey.

This is an ideal opportunity for anyone looking to develop a career in education, psychology, youth work, social care, or SEND support while making a real difference every day.

All applicants will require the appropriate qualifications and training for this role. Please see the FAQs on the Protocol Education website for further details.
