Our school is seeking to recruit an excellent One to One Support Assistant.

Excellent communication skills are expected as you will need to liaise with other team members, parents and the relevant professionals involved with the child.  In addition, a passion for pupil progress is essential for this post as well as good literacy and maths skills.
