About the School
This school is part of a dynamic academy group, and they are on the lookout for a compassionate and dedicated SEN Teaching Assistant to join their vibrant team in Coulsden. The school is dedicated to supporting children aged 6-11 years, who experience communication challenges often linked to Asperger’s Syndrome and Autism.
Their close collaboration with another nearby school means that while each site operates independently with its own Assistant Head, teachers, and TAs, they share the same Principal and Head of School. The presence of a full therapy team at both sites ensures robust support for both students and staff, with opportunities for cross-site engagement.
