Overview
We are seeking to appoint a number of committed and enthusiastic Teaching Assistants to join and support our team at a mainstream primary school with a high level of SEN need based in Tonbridge. This role is ideal for those who genuinely have a passion for helping children, particularly with learning difficulties, and a fantastic opportunity for those considering a career in teaching to gain valuable first-hand experience. Candidates who are appointed will receive full support and training from colleagues and teachers. This is a long-term supply role (eventually moving permanent) based on hours per week as follows: Monday to Friday, 8.30am – 3.30pm.
Join a new SEN school and become a part of our exciting journey, starting as soon as possible.
