Early Years ASD Teaching Assistant - Salford

Tradewind Manchester are supporting a two-form entry primary school based in Salford, M7 to recruit for their Specialist Enhanced Resource within the school. It is a temporary position starting ASAP but could lead to a permanent contract for the right candidate.

This Primary School need proactive Teaching Assistants to support Nursery aged children who have Autism. You will be working in their specialist unit alongside 6 other members of staff. The children also have some forms of ADHD, so the school are looking for energetic but calm and patient Teaching Assistants who love what they do.
