Join a remarkable, purpose-built all‑age school (3-19 years) dedicated to transforming the lives of children and young people with Severe Learning Difficulties (SLD). Our pupils may have additional sensory needs, physical disabilities or display challenging behaviour – and they deserve the very best support.

You will offer enthusiastic, imaginative and energetic support to help each child thrive.

• Assist the teacher in the classroom and playground.

You will receive tailored training, shadowing opportunities and ongoing professional development to help you grow and thrive in your role.
