If you enjoy multitasking, working with children, and being at the heart of a busy school community, this role could be perfect for you.

About the School

This inclusive SEN primary school, based across two well-resourced sites on the outskirts of Pontypridd, provides specialist support for pupils aged 3–19 with a diverse range of additional learning needs. The school is known for:
