This position is critical for school operations, ensuring continuous learning when regular teaching staff are unavailable.

• Accurately feedback to the appropriate staff members regarding class progress and any significant behavioural concerns.
• Ensure strict adherence to all school policies, especially concerning safeguarding procedures.

• Relevant experience working with young people in an educational, youth, or professional environment is highly valued.
• Demonstrable strong command of a classroom and the confidence to manage groups of students independently.
• High levels of reliability, punctuality, and the ability to adapt quickly to different school environments and timetables.
• A professional, positive attitude with effective communication skills for engaging students and staff.
• A current Enhanced Child DBS registered on the update service (or a willingness to obtain one promptly).

• A competitive and consistent daily pay rate of £120 - £150.
• Total flexibility in choosing your working days and the opportunity to gain diverse experience locally in Mildenhall.
• The chance to integrate into various supportive school communities.
