  • Experience as a Sports Coach, Sports Graduate, Teaching Assistant, LSA, Youth Worker or similar
  • A passion for supporting young people to achieve their potential
  • Strong communication and relationship-building skills

  • Flexible days and working hours to suit your schedule. 

  • Culture-matched placements – we take the time to understand you and find schools that fit your values and strengths. 

  • Priority Partnership school network – access to trusted schools who work with us long-term on staffing, enrichment and community initiatives. 

  • 5+ CPD courses completed before placement (including Safeguarding, SEND & Behaviour) with access to further accredited training through Milk Academy. 

  • FREE PSHE lesson plans and resources, designed by real teachers. 

  • FREE Educator Wellbeing resources and access to our community hub – because we believe supported staff stay longer and make a bigger impact.
