Distribute and explain pre-prepared lesson materials.
-
Ensure students remain focused and complete the work set by their teachers.
-
Manage classroom behaviour and maintain appropriate expectations.
-
Provide guidance to students with their learning where required.
-
Keep accurate records of any incidents or concerns and report these to relevant staff.
-
Follow school policies and safeguarding procedures.
Requirements:
-
Previous experience working with children or young people is desirable.
-
Confidence in leading a classroom and supervising groups independently.
-
Strong communication and classroom management skills.
-
A flexible approach to working across different subjects and year groups.

The ability to handle challenging situations with patience and professionalism.
-
A positive attitude and genuine interest in supporting young people's education.
