Teaching and support vacancies in schools across Medway
The Marlborough Centre is part of the Rivermead Inclusive Trust and due to a recent expansion we are seeking to recruit Teaching Assistants to work as part of our vibrant and specialised team. We are a specialist primary provision for 80 children with complex needs on the autistic spectrum. We are seeking to appoint enthusiastic, creative and inspirational teaching assistants to join our team.
The Marlborough Centre has developed into a more specialist provision enjoying newly created therapy spaces including sensory play rooms and a bespoke playground area. We pride ourselves on being able to offer every child an individualised curriculum based on their priority needs.
