This role pays £80 per day, paid on a weekly basis.

If interested you will need to come in for a one hour registration meeting, after that everything can be done over the phone and via email. You will need a valid DBS on the update service or be prepared to purchase a new one and a minimum of two references, preferably one from a job or volunteering role where you’ve worked with children or with people with special needs.
