We are looking for enthusiastic, dedicated and passionate team members who are interested in supporting pupils to learn effectively and to have a positive impact upon pupil outcomes.

Posts are available to work directly with pupils in a number of Year groups with an Education, Health and Care Plan. Successful post holders will deliver learning through a combination of 1-2-1 and small group support, both within and outside of the classroom, to enable pupils to learn effectively, as well as enabling inclusion through accessing the curriculum in whole class learning.
