At New Directions, we are working exclusively with a mainstream primary school in Smethwick who are seeking a long-term SEND Teaching Assistant to join their team on a long-term basis with the potential for possible permanent work in future at the school’s discretion.

Previous school experience would be ideal, however as the school are investing in this academic year also, we are open to applications from candidates with transferrable experience from sectors such as residential, support or care work...
