We are looking for a dedicated and enthusiastic Teaching Assistant to join our vibrant classroom team, supporting students with a wide range of special educational needs. If you have a passion for helping young people thrive and enjoy seeing students grow in confidence, this role offers a genuinely rewarding opportunity.
