In this role, you will be responsible for supervising and providing support to students to enhance their engagement in learning, remove barriers to learning, improve attainment, and boost their self-confidence and emotional well-being. You will create a purposeful, orderly, and supportive environment to facilitate students’ growth and development.

If you are passionate about making a positive impact on the lives of students with special educational needs and are committed to creating an inclusive learning environment, we invite you to apply for this fulfilling opportunity at Zest Education in Walsall.
