This flexible position gives you the opportunity to work across a range of specialist schools and provisions in North Bristol and South Gloucestershire, providing hands-on support that helps pupils thrive.

2. Assisting teachers with activities, resources, and general classroom organisation
3. Helping pupils with personal care and daily routines when required
4. Building warm, trusting relationships as you move between classes and age groups
It’s a varied role with lots of opportunities to make a meaningful impact on pupils’ confidence, development and day-to-day experience in school.
