  • Working collaboratively with colleagues to support student success.

What We're Looking For

Essential:

  • Relevant qualification in early years or a related field
  • Experience of supporting young people to learn and develop new skills
  • The ability to work successfully within a team

Desirable (but not essential):

  • Recognised teaching qualification, or a willingness to work towards one
  • Previous experience of teaching in a further education setting

If you're ready to bring your early years experience into the classroom, we'd love to hear from you.
