Cambridge | £90 to £110 per day | September Start
Not every child needs someone to fix them. Sometimes they just need someone who won't give up on them.
If you've got the resilience to stay calm when others can't, the patience to build trust over time, and the confidence to support children with additional needs, this could be the role for you.
Simply Education is recruiting experienced SEN Teaching Assistants to support fantastic primary schools and specialist settings across Cambridge this September.

SEN Teaching Assistant
Learning Support Assistant
Behaviour Mentor
Sports Coach working with children
