Do you have the patience, empathy, and thick skin required to turn a student's academic year around? GAC Education is looking for an impactful SEN TA / Behaviour Support Worker to make a real difference across our network of Kirklees schools.

The Essentials: A valid, enhanced DBS check linked to the Update Service (or a commitment to secure a new one through us).
