Are you looking to begin a career in education and gain hands-on experience supporting children with special educational needs?

Do you have the patience, empathy, and enthusiasm to make a real difference in a child's learning journey?

Are you hoping to build valuable experience in a supportive primary school setting across North London?

You will:
