GSL Education is supporting an SEND school in Plymouth that is seeking Primary Teaching Assistant to join their team on a full-time, long-term basis, with the potential to go permanent!

The school offers a personalised wrap-around education package to students with complex needs or EHCP pupils at risk of requiring residential placements. These pupils have struggled to thrive in special schools or are returning from out-of-county placements.

Every child receives a high level of support, often involving one-to-one assistance and bespoke timetables based on thematic learning experiences. A wide range of personalised learning opportunities in and out of the classroom is designed to engage students, build resilience, and lay the foundation for rapid academic progress.

THE SCHOOL HAS MULTIPLE SETTINGS, AND WE ARE SEEKING THOSE HAPPY TO WORK ACROSS KS1-4. THESE ROLES REQUIRE A UK DRIVING LICENCE AND OWN CAR.
