Are you an experienced Teaching Assistant looking for a rewarding new challenge? A fantastic opportunity awaits at a rural SEN school in Boston Spa, where you can be part of not just a school, but a supportive and thriving community.

Set in a lovely countryside location, this school offers excellent facilities and a warm, inclusive environment where both staff and students are truly valued.
