Teaching Assistant

An ambitious and supportive secondary school in Hounslow is looking to recruit a caring and enthusiastic Teaching Assistant to join their dedicated inclusion team from September.

This is a rewarding opportunity to work within a thriving secondary school that is committed to helping every student succeed, both academically and personally.
