I am currently recruiting on behalf of a FY2 Blackpool primary seeking adaptable and resourceful TA's to work with a group of children on a rotational basis to support their development in social, behavioural and academic growth.

This is a fantastic opportunity for anyone looking to develop their understanding of social, emotional, mental and health needs, autism and cognitive needs, while having the freedom and opportunity to work with a selection of pupils and every day being different.

This is a lovely local primary with an on-site car park, local parking and bus route. Their motto, firmly rooted, we flourish is echoed throughout the school and embedded within their culture, school lay out and provisions. On site they have a greenhouse, planting activities, wildlife and an emphasis on understanding of botany and plant science. Through this understanding they hope their pupil's adopt an appreciation and respect for living things.

If this sounds like the ideal setting and role for you then please email or submit your CV for your interest or more information.
