Are you passionate about supporting children with special educational needs? We're looking for a dedicated SEND Teaching Assistant to join a nurturing primary school in Tamworth, with a focus on children who require tailored support in a mainstream setting.
This welcoming school is seeking a calm, caring and confident TA to work 1:1 and in small groups with pupils who may have Autism, Speech and Language Needs, ADHD and social, emotional or mental health (SEMH) difficulties.
What You'll Be Doing:
- Support pupils with a range of SEND, adapting to their individual learning needs.
