Full-time roles Monday-Friday 8:30am - 3:15pm in special schools. We're working closely with a number of special schools in the Melksham area that have various roles available from after half term. These schools are a mixture of SEMH and more complex needs schools looking after students aged 4-16. The schools ideally require staff who are available on a full-time basis, so this is 5 days a week on a long-term basis (but with short days!).
The role of LSW involves general classroom support as well as 1-1 support while working closely with colleagues in providing support outside of the classroom. Due to the needs of the students (SEMH, ASD, Complex Needs, SLD, MLD) it is essential that you have worked with special needs in some capacity. This is an exciting opportunity for experienced support workers who have been looking to make the switch to working in schools.
We are an independent agency working with Nurseries, Primary, Secondary and Special Schools. We place a huge emphasis on delivering an exceptional service where you will be supported, listened to and valued throughout.
