Do you have a calm head, a kind heart, and a knack for helping young people feel safe and understood? We’d love to hear from you.

We’re working with a number of welcoming schools across Wandsworth who are looking for support staff to join their Enhanced Learning Provisions. These settings support pupils who need a little extra care, structure, and encouragement to thrive at school.

• Creating a safe, supportive space where progress feels possible

We’re looking for people who

• Are patient, resilient, and genuinely care about young people
• Have experience in schools, SEND, youth work, care, or similar settings, or are keen to learn
• Stay calm under pressure and don’t take tricky moments personally
• Want to make a real difference, even on the challenging days

What you’ll get

• Roles in supportive schools that value their support staff
• Weekly PAYE pay, no umbrella faff
• FREE access to our CPD Academy, including SEND and behaviour training
• A friendly, local consultant who actually listens
• Opportunities for long-term and ongoing work
