· We are eager to hear from people that have experience working with young people, whether that be in schools, volunteering, care work or otherwise
· We’re particularly interested in hearing from people who have experience as a sports coach or football coach for young people
· Staff should be happy working as a teaching assistant supporting in-classroom, as well as being able to help with sports activities when children need a movement break
· Applicants who have previous experience supporting adults or young people with SEND will stand out!
