We're working with a number of welcoming and inclusive schools across Doncaster who are looking for caring and dedicated SEND Teaching Assistants to join their teams.

If you're patient, compassionate, and passionate about making a difference, this could be the perfect opportunity. Every day you'll play a vital role in supporting children and young people with additional needs, helping them grow in confidence, develop independence, and achieve their potential.

No two days are ever the same, but every day is rewarding.

As a SEND Teaching Assistant
, you'll become an important part of a pupil's educational journey.

You'll support learning in and out of the classroom, help pupils overcome barriers, and provide emotional and practical support that enables them to thrive.

• A positive attitude and willingness to learn
