Flexi SEN Staff

I am currently looking for Teaching Assistants on a flexi-bank basis to provide support within an SEN provision in the Medway area. This is a school for children and young people aged 2-19 with profound, severe and complex needs, many of whom have a diagnosis of autism. The school invests in employing the best staff and in training them to achieve; as such the school strives to engage staff who are self-motivated, professional and ambitious. I am looking for a bank of exceptional people on a flexi-bank basis to help cover unexpected sickness, planned absences and course cover.

Ideal candidates will be/have:

• Professional and caring individual

• Flexible, adaptable and be able to use own initiative
• Must be comfortable with personal care (toileting)
