5. Enhanced DBS check (the employer can provide this if not already in possession).
6. A proactive approach in creating an effective learning environment outside of the child’s home.
Additional Information:
This position is deemed to be short term and may range from 3 to 4 weeks, depending on how quickly the child is admitted to a new school.

If you believe you can offer the dedication and skills required for this role, we would love to hear from you.
