About the School & Setting
Set within a mainstream primary school with a specialist facility for pupils with autistic spectrum conditions, this setting is recognised for its nurturing environment and inclusive approach
A recent Ofsted inspection (July 2023) rated the school’s overall effectiveness as "Requires Improvement" — while behaviour and personal development were rated Good, and early years provision is also Good. Importantly, pupils with complex needs are well supported, and emotional management is handled skillfully by staff

• Pay rate: £13.70 per hour.
• Temporary for an initial 16 week settling in period, with the opportunity to become permanent.

You enjoy building relationships and encouraging vulnerable young people to thrive. Whether you’re a graduate, youth worker, sports coach, teaching assistant, or support worker, this is your chance to make a real difference.
What You’ll Bring
• A calm, warm, and flexible approach.
• A genuine interest in supporting children with social, emotional or learning challenges.
