With a strong leadership team and a commitment to professional development, this school offers a rewarding and collaborative workplace.

Your New Role

As a SEN Teaching Assistant, you will play a vital role in supporting pupils on a one-to-one basis and in small groups, helping them to access the curriculum and develop essential life skills.
