We are seeking a dynamic and dedicated individual to work as a Learning Support Assistant in our Prep School, to support the learning needs of a Year 3 student with an Education and Health Care Plan. You will be part of an outstanding team of staff who currently support students with a wide range of learning difficulties and disabilities across the whole school.
