This full-time Teaching Assistant post in Wouldham offers £95 to £105 daily on a PAYE basis, starting October. Teach South seeks a compassionate recruit to support pupils with complex special educational needs, including autism, communication barriers, profound learning difficulties, sensory requirements and emotional regulation challenges. Every child holds an Education, Health and Care Plan, so staff deliver highly tailored assistance within a nurturing school setting.
