The Pilgrim School has an exciting opportunity for someone who is interested in supporting secondary age young people in the classroom in an alternative setting. The apprentice would be training towards the Level 3 qualification and would suit someone who has recently left Further Education and wants a different route rather than university. The Pilgrim School has an established and highly effective team of permanent members of staff. The successful candidate will be supported and provided with a range of CPD opportunities.
