If you are passionate about helping children and young people thrive, and you're looking for a long-term role that offers consistency, growth and the opportunity to make a real impact, we would love to hear from you.

Challenging behaviour / behaviour mentoring

What We Offer

A variety of long-term placements, with many roles leading to permanent employment

Opportunities across mainstream and specialist SEND settings

Supportive school environments committed to staff development

Free Team Teach training for all staff, offered as part of our group of companies
