Myatt Garden School SEN Teaching Assistant

Are you interested in making a difference to our children's school experience? Do you have knowledge / experience of supporting a child with developmental delay or ADHD? We are looking for someone to join our team to support a child with SEN. This is a fixed term contract currently until 23rd July 2021. (This post is dependent on the child remaining at our school and the whether the funding for the additional support is amended or discontinued by the appropriate Local Authority. Therefore the contract could be ended before July 2021 or extended). 

At Myatt Garden we are passionate about education and believe there is nothing the children or adults in our community cannot achieve. Every child has success within them and our aim is to provide a stimulating environment where children achieve.
Education is all about creating and making connections. Our rich, creative curriculum inspires the curiosity needed to embrace new experiences, with the emphasis on the enjoyment of learning. Our children are articulate, enthusiastic learners who embrace the exciting opportunities we offer including themed weeks, art days, regular trips and visitors. Key to our approach is our belief that we must teach our children to be ?expert learners'.
