Zest Education is recruiting a full‑time 1:1 SEND Teaching Assistant to support a Year 3 pupil at a welcoming mainstream primary school in Tamworth. This is a rewarding opportunity for someone who is passionate about supporting children with SEMH (Social, Emotional and Mental Health) needs and helping them succeed in a nurturing, structured environment.
