My name is Paul Lavery, and I have been supporting young people in a wide range of roles for 27 years. I first founded Paul Lavery Support (PLS), an agency that provides high-quality mentors and bespoke support packages for children and young people across Hertfordshire - from primary school pupils through to college students. As part of our continued growth, we have successfully launched Positive Expressions, a life and social skills-based alternative provision designed to help young people build confidence, resilience, and positive choices in a supportive and relaxed environment. Although our recruitment info is hosted by PLS, both PLS and Positive Expressions work hand-in-hand to provide exceptional, person-centred support for young people in our communities.
Please note: We can only consider applicants who currently hold an enhanced DBS registered on the Update Service due to the time constraints of recruitment. Any questions, please feel free to direct to admin@paullaverysupport.co.uk or visit our websites:
