• Strong communication skills and a proactive, team-oriented attitude.
• Some experience working with children (e.g. in a school, tutoring, mentoring, or voluntary setting) is desirable.
• Interest in progressing to teacher training, educational psychology, or SEN specialisms.

What We Offer:

• Full-time, long-term role beginning September 2025 – ideal for a graduate gap year or career starter.

• Opportunities to work with children with SEN, including autism, ADHD, and speech & language needs.
• Ongoing training and career development opportunities through Ortus Recruitment.
