• Willingness to use your car for business purposes with appropriate business insurance.
• Availability to start immediately in a full-time role.
• Strong communication skills and a patient, empathetic approach.
• Flexibility, adaptability, and a commitment to supporting students’ success.

• A dedicated consultant providing personalised support throughout your placement.
• Opportunities for a flexible work-life balance.
• Access to professional development and safeguarding training.
• Join a respected recruitment agency committed to quality and inclusivity in education.

• You must have the right to work in the UK.
