Working alongside teachers, therapists, families, and external professionals, you'll play a key role in creating a safe, nurturing environment where students feel understood, valued, and empowered to succeed.

Whether you're an experienced Learning Support Assistant or someone with the right values, resilience, and passion for supporting young people with SEND, we'd love to hear from you.
