About The Role
Educato are looking for an experienced SEN Teaching Assistant to join a welcoming mainstream primary school in Little Hulton, Salford.

The successful candidate will need to be calm, patient and confident in supporting children who may become dysregulated or find the classroom environment overwhelming.
