Assisting with personal care or mobility where needed
Working closely with class teachers, SENCOs, and therapists
We’re looking for people who:

Are patient, adaptable, and genuinely care about making a difference
Have good communication skills and a team-player attitude
No qualifications required – just your relevant experience and commitment.
