We're now recruiting for the 2025/2026 academic year and have flexible teaching opportunities across Croydon, supporting children and young people who need 1:1 provision outside of mainstream school.

Qualified teachers, tutors, teaching assistants, SEN specialists, and education professionals with experience supporting children and young people.
Those with a background in Early Years, Primary, Secondary and Post 16 teaching, or specialist SEND environments.

Individuals who are semi-retired, changing career path, or seeking a more flexible role in education.
A minimum of 2 consistent weekdays of availability.
