Job Overview
Are you currently working in SEN education and looking for a change? Or do you hold qualified Teacher’s status or the HLTA qualification and have a passion for working with individuals with additional needs? If so, we would love to speak with you.

In fact, every service is centred around this inclusive ethos and as such we spend much of our time out of the centre, which allows for meaningful interactions and engagement with the community.

- Additional hours available.
- Salary is competitive and negotiable, depending upon skills and experience.
