Requirements:
Experience: Previous experience working with children or young people (schools, youth clubs, coaching, or care settings).
Adaptability: The ability to walk into a new classroom environment and quickly build rapport with students and staff.
Reliability: Strong communication and punctuality-schools rely heavily on temporary staff to keep their classrooms running smoothly.
Location: Ability to travel to schools within Cambridge (access to public transport or a car is highly beneficial).
Safeguarding: A valid Enhanced DBS check registered on the Update Service (or the willingness to apply for a new one).
Total Flexibility: You choose when and where you want to work. Perfect for students, parents, or anyone balancing other commitments.
