• Practical experience in one or more construction trades.
• Ability to work effectively with young people and build positive, professional relationships.
• Strong communication skills, good ICT skills, and a commitment to safeguarding.
• Willingness to work towards teaching/assessing qualifications if not already held.

Desirable:

• Experience working with young people with SEMH needs or in alternative provision.
• AET Level 3 or other teaching/assessing qualifications.

• Private healthcare
