Do you have a passion for supporting pupils with disabilities? I'm currently recruiting for caring and kind individuals who are genuinely interested in working with the highest levels of need.
If you are an SEN Teaching Assistant experienced in supporting children with Vision Impairments or are keen to develop into a specialist field, I am eager to hear from you.

I'm working with a school urgently looking to meet with candidates for a role to start immediately. Receiving an OFSTED rated Outstanding award in January, this is an opportunity to join a thriving and high performing team achieving great results with their pupils.

This is a school for blind and partially sighted children with significant learning difficulties and disabilities. The school has around 50 pupils aged 2 to 14.
