  • Personal care / moving & handling / hoist training

  • Working with non-verbal students or those using alternative communication (PECS, Makaton, AAC)

If you have worked as a tutor, support worker, nursery practitioner, sports coach, youth worker or carer, your experience may also be highly relevant.



What We Offer

  • A variety of long-term placements, with many roles leading to permanent employment

  • Opportunities across mainstream and specialist SEND settings

  • Supportive school environments committed to staff development

  • Free Team Teach training for all staff, offered as part of our group of companies
