Are you looking for a role where you can make a difference to the lives of our young people?

We are seeking to appoint an enthusiastic and committed Teaching Assistant to join our large and supportive team.

• Numeracy: De-mystifying maths by building "number sense" and foundational problem-solving skills.
• Social & Emotional Skills: Facilitating sessions that promote confidence, social communication, and resilience.

The role could include providing personal care for the student. Please indicate in your application if this is something you would be happy to do. Full training would be provided.

Working hours 5.5 per day, 8:30am-3:00pm, including two 30-minute breaks
