We welcome experience supporting autism/ASC, ADHD, SEMH, learning difficulties, speech, language and communication needs, sensory impairments, physical disabilities and complex needs.

Experience in nurture provision, behaviour support, care or helping children develop independence is also valuable. Any personal care duties will be discussed before you accept a role.

A Level 2 or Level 3 Teaching Assistant qualification is welcome, but isn't essential for every role. We consider relevant experience and each school's requirements. Graduates considering a career in education are welcome to enquire.
