  • Those with personal experience supporting a family member or friend with ALN are very welcome
  • Positive, flexible team players able to travel up to 30 minutes to schools across Llanelli

 Your Role Will Include

⭐ Supporting pupils with a range of additional learning needs
⭐ Providing one-to-one or small group support
⭐ Assisting with personal care when required
⭐ Helping create calm, structured, safe learning environments
⭐ Building trusting relationships with pupils, teachers, and families
⭐ Encouraging independence, confidence, and daily progress

Every day brings meaningful moments—smiles, progress, and genuine breakthroughs.

✨ What We Offer

  • Flexible part-time or full-time working options
  • A supportive, friendly team
  • Training and guidance for ALN strategies and personal care
  • Opportunities to grow within education or SEN pathways
  • Competitive pay and long-term placements available
