L ooking for a Role that Fits Your Lifestyle? A Term-Time Education Role Might Be Perfect for You! Are you looking for a fulfilling job that allows you to make a real difference in the lives of others? Join our team in Great Holm, Milton Keynes, where we're expanding to support a growing number of students. No experience in education? Don't worry – we believe in your potential, and we'll provide the training you need to succeed! Full-time (38 hours) 37 weeks per year contract Comprehensive training and ongoing professional development A chance to be part of a supportive and inclusive team that makes a real difference As a Community Teaching Facilitator , you won't be confined to the classroom. You'll work with young people whose learning difficulties or autism make mainstream education less suitable for their needs. With a focus on individualised learning, you'll teach essential life skills and provide lessons in literacy, numeracy, and ICT, all tailored to each student's unique needs. One of the many rewarding stories we share is that of Amanda*. When Amanda started with us, she was being supported 2:1 at her previous school and had been excluded from group lessons. By creating a personalised communication system, we helped Amanda take control of her learning experience. This gave her confidence, reduced challenging behaviours, and allowed her to engage in group activities, eventually forming friendships with her peers. This is just one example of the impact you can have when you work with us. At the heart of everything we do are our core values, and they shape the way we approach education and support. Our DNA includes: Ambition for ourselves and for each other – We're committed to growing and developing as a team, always striving to be better for those we help. Everyone has a voice and is listened to – Whether you're a student, a parent, or a team member, your voice matters.

Everyone feels safe and in control – We prioritise creating a safe, supportive environment where all can thrive. We value friends, family, and neighbourhoods – Strong communities are key to success, and we foster those connections every day. *Name changed to protect privacy Please note, we are currently unable to offer sponsorships as we await further guidance from the Home Office.
