It is essential that you can demonstrate an ability to work with a range of people at all levels, especially young people.
You should be able to use your organisational skills to bring about sustained change with individual students, to improve their behaviour and attendance.
The Learning Alliance is looking for a good team player that has an enthusiastic attitude and a natural ability to support and encourage our students and their families.
