About The role

As a Community Teaching Assistant, you'll teach some amazing people, aged between 16 and 25 with learning difficulties or autism. This will not always be confined to the classroom. The learning will be out in the community and learning at our base, depending on the needs of the young person. Our friendly team aim to deliver personalised education programmes to the learners we're working with, to teach what is important for the individual: key life skills and appropriate lessons in literacy, numeracy and ICT.

Your ability to drive unlocks the opportunities for people to do the things they really enjoy. So you must be a driver with a manual license. Don't worry! You won't be racing between appointments.
