As a Special Educational Needs Teaching Assistant your main responsibilities will be:
- Supporting schoolwork under the supervision of the teacher

To succeed in this role you will need:
- A positive attitude and an ability to work well as part of a team, both in class and at whole school level
- Willingness to contribute to whole school development
- Flexible and adaptable
- Resilient and reflective
We are looking for individuals who aim to inspire every child to acquire the knowledge, life skills, emotional competencies and experience necessary, to fulfil their true potential and return to mainstream education with a transformed approach and attitude to learning.

- When you are fully experienced as a special needs teaching assistant, you may be able to study for a foundation degree. These are offered by a number of colleges and universities
