Would you like a new and challenging role at a special school in Shirehampton?
We have a role at a special school who is looking for a teaching assistant to support children with SLD (Severe Learning Difficulties). Pupils who have SLD will have very significant cognitive or intellectual difficulties.
Candidates with experience supporting children with challenging behaviour and/ or SLD are encouraged to apply. This role is full time and ongoing. You will either need to have a valid, 12-hour team teach course or you will have to commit to attending a 2-day course in the October half term (depending on ongoing health guidelines).
