Long Term Futures are supporting a well-respected and inclusive primary school in Barnet who are seeking a compassionate and skilled SEN Teaching Assistant to join their team. This role involves providing one-on-one support for a delightful Year 2 pupil who has a rare brittle bone condition, requiring specialist care, manual handling and hoist support.
