We are seeking to recruit a Teaching Assistant with experience and a passion for working with children aged 11-16 with SEND, behaviour, social emotional and mental health issues. This is an exciting time to join Edgar Wood Academy as we are a new and expanding school with a current intake of 640 students within Years 7, 8, 9 and 10. This position presents an excellent opportunity for candidates who are potentially looking to gain experience to progress into teaching or for those who aspire to work within the area of SEND and/or Social and Emotional Mental Health.
