As the summer examinations are fast approaching, the secondary school in Stockport is looking for a Behaviour Support Teaching Assistant to join their inclusive support team as soon as possible to provide extra interventional support to identified pupils with a range of KS3 and KS4 subjects.

The incoming teaching assistant will be working closely with pupils who have some behavioural issues and SEN which means they struggle to engage with lessons.
