Prospero Teaching are looking for Teaching Assistants to support children with complex needs in a school in Radcliffe. The school caters for students with a range of needs including PMLD, SLD, and some medical needs.
You will be required to support children on a 1:1 basis and may be required to assist with personal care when necessary.
