This trust caters to children across KS1-2 who have SEMH, Autism, and present challenging behaviour.

We are seeking individuals with strong support assistant skills, a willingness to learn, grow, and develop, and an interest in investing in a long-term contract at the school.

Here at GSL Education, we offer competitive pay rates, bespoke service, and dedicated Consultants who will support you in securing your new role.

We have extensive experience in helping candidates gain relevant experience and training to become Specialist Support Staff, Newly Qualified Teachers, Fully Qualified Teachers, Education Psychologists, and even secure Senior Leadership positions.
