Teachers are working closely with a brilliant Special secondary school in Swindon. They are looking for an LSA to join the team from September in providing support across a range of different classes (KS3-KS4). The school does vital work for families in the area, looking after students with Social, Emotional & Mental health (SEMH) & ASD. Having placed a number of full-time staff at the school over the years, I can confidently say how brilliant a school they are and how well they support their staff. The work is challenging but incredibly rewarding.
