Classroom Assistant job summary

The children and young people at Freemantles have Autism and a fascinatingly different perspective on the world. Why not come and find out more for yourselves and join our rapidly growing school and staff team?

If you are looking for part-time work in the afternoons we would really like to hear from you too.

You will be providing classroom support to our children and young people with complex social communication needs and autism. Our classes have 9 children.
