As a full-time Teaching Assistant, you will be expected to work Monday to Friday from 8:30 to 15:30 at the college, which specialises in providing support to young individuals between the ages of 16 to 25 with Autism (ASC) and associated learning needs. These diverse needs include communication challenges, social difficulties, and mental health issues.
