Learning Support Assistant

39,000 children in England are missing from education.

Together, let's change that.

At Fresh Start in Education, you'll have the chance to transform the lives of vulnerable young people who've been left behind by traditional schooling. Many of our students are disengaged and out of education - but with your creativity and passion, you can inspire them to reimagine learning. 

By linking YouTube to English, baking to Maths, gardening to Geography, you’ll turn the world into their classroom. Working 1:1, you’ll tailor sessions to their unique needs and interests, sparking curiosity and confidence. While you focus on your student, our Education Team will handle the logistics and be there to support you every step of the way.
