This position would suit someone with experience of working with young people aged 11-18, an aspiring teacher seeking valuable school-based experience, or an individual who is passionate about education and making a genuine difference every day.

At Christ the King, we believe every child deserves the opportunity to succeed. If you share this belief and want to be part of a school where relationships matter, achievement is celebrated and staff are genuinely valued, we'd love to hear from you.

• Support students with a range of needs, including SEND and social, emotional and behavioural needs.
• Build positive relationships that encourage confidence, engagement and achievement.
• Work collaboratively with teachers to raise standards and improve outcomes.
• Help create an inclusive environment where every student feels valued and supported.
