We are looking to recruit an enthusiastic, committed, caring, and diligent person as a Teaching Assistant and Lunchtime Supervisor working 1:1 with a child with complex needs.

We pride ourselves in providing a safe, happy, and caring environment, where all pupils are nurtured and valued within a distinctive and inclusive ethos.

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.
