Job Description

Can you inspire hope for some of the most vulnerable young people?

For young people with conditions such as cerebral palsy, along with SEN and SEMH needs, the traditional classroom can be a daunting, even impossible environment. Physical challenges, overwhelming sensory input, limited accessibility, and a lack of tailored support often leave them feeling excluded from education altogether. Many become unable or unwilling to attend school.

When these young people are out of education, they urgently need the kind of experience, empathy and commitment that you can bring. That's where Fresh Start in Education comes in.

We provide personalised 1:1 or 2:1 support for students in bespoke placements created and supported by our dedicated team. As an Education Specialist, you'll design and deliver creative, interest-led programmes that make learning truly accessible. Whether that's linking YouTube to English, baking to Maths, or using gardening to teach Science, you'll turn their world into their classroom in a way that respects their physical needs, pace, and potential.

Your work can be the turning point -- helping a young person with cerebral palsy not just access education, but believe in it again. Help us open the door to possibility.
