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.
About You
You will be a key member of our education support team, working as part of a specialist team of Teachers and Therapists to deliver a specialist curriculum that motivates and inspires our students.
Experience as a Teaching Assistant or carer would be beneficial, but as long as you have the communication skills and passion required for this role and a willingness to learn, we will give you all the training and development you need to succeed.
Whilst not essential, experience of supporting children with autism and complex needs would be an advantage.
Successful candidates, through the support of IT resources, will contribute to the effective implementation of individual programmes by supporting the teaching and learning, social and independence activities and experiences, which enhance the learning and development of children and young people.
Being flexible in approach, emotionally available, and resilient is an important characteristic for this role.
