We are looking for enthusiastic, highly motivated and energetic Primary and Secondary Education Support teachers looking for exciting and rewarding challenges.

Successful applicants should be able to manage class teams and liaise with parents and therapists to meet the educational and care needs of the students. Applicants who are passionate about teaching in an education support environment are encouraged to apply.
