Are you caring, enthusiastic and passionate about helping young people thrive?
At Hollybank School, we're looking for a Day Time Support Assistant to join our dedicated team. This is a rewarding opportunity to support children and young people with complex physical and learning disabilities, helping them to achieve their full potential in a safe, nurturing and fun environment.
The role focuses on supporting pupils' wellbeing, personal care, nutrition and independence throughout the school day.
No two days are ever the same. You'll be part of a supportive, multidisciplinary team, providing practical and emotional support while helping our pupils build confidence, develop life skills and enjoy their school experience.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
