Are you passionate about supporting children''s wellbeing and education? A welcoming and inclusive primary school in Wallingford is looking for a committed Mental Health Support Assistant to join their team as soon as possible.

In this role, you will provide one-to-one and small group support for pupils with special educational needs and social, emotional, and mental health needs.
