We are looking for a candidate who will:

Provide learning and care support for children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) in class, in small groups or 1:1.

About Us

Combs Ford Primary is a two-form entry primary school located to the south of the market town of Stowmarket where the Rivers Gipping and Rattlesden meet. We currently have 270 children on roll. We are proud of our family ethos and strive to enable all our children to become confident individuals who are able to lead safe, healthy and fulfilling lives.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.

It searches the market for you

Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.

Only hits

No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.

At Combs Ford Primary School we aim for a modern and world-class curriculum rooted in our local community that inspires and challenges all of our children and prepares them for the future. If you are looking for a school that enables children to become the best that they can be then this is the place for you.

School staff have a close working relationship with each other; they say it’s a great place to work and they feel valued. We offer you the opportunity to develop all aspects of your practice, with the support of the leadership team, Governors and our highly skilled staff.
