  • Contribute to maintaining a safe and stimulating learning environment.

The Ideal Candidate Will Have:

  • A recognised Teaching Assistant qualification (e.g. Level 2 or Level 3 TA).
  • Experience working with primary-aged children with SEND.
  • Knowledge of a range of SEND needs (e.g. ASD, ADHD, speech and language needs, SEMH).
  • Strong communication and teamwork skills.
  • Patience, empathy, and a positive, proactive attitude.
