You will be employed by Teaching Personnel and would gain valuable experience working in the local schools we support. You will be paid weekly, earning between £50-£65 per day.
You will make a difference to the lives of young people with varying degrees of needs; these could include learning difficulties, physical disabilities, autistic spectrum conditions, or communication and interaction difficulties.
You will be supporting the children, whose ages can range from 5-18, in and around the classroom to ensure they are getting the best out of their time in school. You will create strong and trusting relationships with students, supporting them with school work and their personal development.
You may be required to assist the children with personal care and their movement around school.
