You will also support children who need time outside the classroom setting  and  require additional individual care. We have a matrix management structure with our SEND TAs taking direction from the SENDCo and the class teacher.

We are looking for a positive, flexible member of staff . You will have experience of working in a school setting. Ideally you will have previous experience of supporting children with SEND ,  however training is offered to suitable candidates who wish to develop their expertise.
