  • A professional and reliable attitude
  • The ability to adapt to different classroom environments and pupil needs

We are particularly keen to hear from candidates who have hands-on experience supporting children with additional needs. Whether you have worked as an SEN Teaching Assistant, 1:1 Support Assistant, Learning Support Assistant, Behaviour Support Assistant or in another child-focused role, your experience could be highly valuable. Mainstream primary school experience is also welcomed where candidates demonstrate the right attitude, resilience and commitment to supporting children.

  • Opportunities across Walsall, Wolverhampton and surrounding areas
  • Flexible and longer‑term opportunities available
  • The opportunity to work within a range of welcoming primary school environments
  • Support from a dedicated recruitment team
  • Opportunities to build valuable experience within education
  • The chance to make a genuine difference to children's lives
