Educated to NVQ Level 3 or equivalent in a relevant area, you should have relevant and recent experience in an educational or training environment liaising with external organisations/stakeholders. You should have the necessary skills to deal with young people in a challenging and fast moving environment. 

You will be required to travel on a daily basis and may be required to stay in accommodation. Therefore, a full driving licence and the ability to use your own transport is essential for this post.
