Horizon Teachers are working with a SEND School in the Croydon area that are looking to appoint Learning Support Assistants to help cover with staff absences on a long-term, full time basis starting as soon as possible, until the end of the academic year until July 2025.
The school caters for students aged 11 – 17 that have Mild Learning Difficulties, such as Autism and being non-verbal.
