Complex Needs Learning Support Assistants Full-time (ideally!) Monday-Friday 8:30am - 3:15pm Special schools September We're working closely with a number of fantastic special schools in the Melksham area that have various roles available from September. These schools are a mixture of SEMH & more complex needs special schools looking after students aged 4-16. The schools ideally require staff who are available on a full-time basis, so this would be 5 days a week on a long-term basis (but with short days!).
