An exciting opportunity has arisen, enabling us to recruit Educational Teaching Assistants to work as part of our team, shaping a high quality, exemplary Additional Resourced Provision for children with CCI needs. Our outstanding infant and junior schools are looking for passionate, reflective practitioners who have a positive attitude to join our newly created provision team. The provisions will cater for children with complex communication and interaction needs from Reception to KS2, across 2 sites.


The posts will be initially sited within the junior ARP. There will be opportunity to work within the infant ARP once opened.
