- Application of medication
The role:
Candidates applying for this position will be required to support a class teacher; assisting with aspects of personal care and general emotional well-being and educational support.

Full and part time roles available operating between Mondays - Friday and between 8.30am and 3.30pm. All roles will start as temporary, but will present the opportunity to be permanent depending on the applicants fit within the school. Pay scales will vary, but will be a minimum of ÂŁ9.00 per hour.
