Complex Needs Education Support Assistant - Immediate Start

Contract: Full-Time | Term-Time Only

Every Child Deserves to Be Included
Education shouldn't become inaccessible because a child needs additional physical, health, communication or personal support.
Sometimes the difference between simply being present at school and being able to genuinely participate is having the right person alongside you.
A specialist educational setting in Ivybridge is looking for a Complex Needs Education Support Assistant to start as soon as possible.
You'll work with children and young people who require additional support throughout their school day, combining practical care with encouragement, learning support and a strong focus on independence.

The pupils you support may have a combination of special educational needs, disabilities, communication differences, physical needs and additional health or care requirements.
