Learning Support Assistant

Forest School is seeking to appoint a Learning Support Assistant to provide targeted, high-quality support to two pupils with Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCPs), enabling them to access the curriculum, develop literacy and numeracy skills, and thrive socially and emotionally within the classroom.
