At RNN Group, our vision is Leading innovation and skills in our communities. We are looking for an inspiring, adaptable, and dedicated Teaching Assistant to join our team.

- Skill Breakdown and Independence: Break down complex skills into smaller tasks and build from easier to harder activities to promote self-esteem, life skills, and work skills.
- Digital and Assistive Learning: Guide students in using digital platforms, Google Classroom, and assistive technologies for shared active learning.
- Classroom and Teacher Support: Partner with teachers/tutors to prepare learning resources, manage classroom dynamics, and cultivate a positive learning environment.
