This position is 18 hours per week, 8.30am to 3.30pm over 3 days, term-time (39 weeks per year)

A Cover Supervisor role, working in classrooms across all subject areas where the teacher is absent, is available in addition to this SEND Assistant role if a 5 day per week contract is sought.

We are committed to safeguarding and promoting child welfare.
