Are you interested in supporting children with Special Educational Needs? Would you like to build your experience working with Complex Learning Disabilities?

A fantastic specialist school in Trowbridge are looking for a caring, personable individual to join their team as an Autism Support Assistant. This is a full-time position, 5 days a week.
