Are you looking for a rewarding role where you can make a real difference every day?

Vision for Education are looking for a Trainee Teaching Assistant to join a specialist school in BS30, supporting children and young people with complex learning needs and Profound and Multiple Learning Disabilities (PMLD).

You don't need previous school experience. If you're caring, patient and keen to learn, we'll provide free online training before you start to give you the confidence and knowledge needed for the role.

The role

You'll work closely with experienced staff, supporting pupils both in and out of the classroom. Every child has individual needs, so you'll help with learning activities, communication, sensory play and encouraging independence throughout the school day.

Some pupils may require personal care, moving and handling support or assistance with feeding, so being comfortable supporting all aspects of a child's day is important. Full training will be provided.

This is a 0-hour contract, offering full-time work during term time, with the opportunity to secure a permanent role with the school.

We're looking for someone who can commit to 32.5 hours per week, Monday to Friday.

• Be patient, caring and reliable.

• Pension contributions.
• The opportunity to gain valuable experience in a specialist setting and progress into a permanent role.
