This is an exciting opportunity to join a strong and dedicated team who make a significant contribution to the success of young people in our school. Our team of teaching assistants, led by our Special Educational Needs Coordinator, work alongside teachers to support students within and outside the classroom.

Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
You will be a well organised good communicator with good teamwork skills. You will be competent in literacy and numeracy and be able to adapt according to the needs of the students and situations you will be working with.
