To start as soon as possible, we are looking to appoint Teaching Assistants to work across the curriculum, offering support to students with special educational needs. The Skills for Learning department is a large and successful area of the school where teamwork, mutual support and high-quality training are paramount. We are looking for the successful candidates to work across the curriculum, be part of the key worker programme and provide support at break/lunchtimes. You will need to be prepared to support a wide range of students, be flexible, enjoy working with young people and, very importantly, retain a sense of humour.
