Effective support for students with special educational needs and/or disabilities is a key priority across the Seaton Valley Federation of Schools in order to help all students to achieve their full potential.
This role is within a team of Teaching Assistants who work across our schools, working under the direction of the SENDCO and Assistant Headteacher SEND/Disadvantaged. We are looking for an apprentice to join Whytrig Middle School, working with students aged between 9 and 13 years old.

You will play a vital role in the classroom by ensuring pupils get the most out of their lessons and reach their full potential. You will help them learn, monitor work and help raise their self esteem. You will need to be very resilient and dedicated to the wellbeing of our young people.

You must be reliable and punctual, friendly and polite, be proactive with the ability to show initiative and have the desire to develop in the role.
