Summary
I'm currently working as a part time teaching assistant with an early years pupil who requires additional and dedicated support, which I have thoroughly enjoyed, however due to circumstances beyond my control this placement is coming to an end shortly and I am looking to continue the same role in a different setting. I also a part time early years practitioner in a school wrap around setting and I am looking for a full time position within a setting that supports, cares for and encourages individuals with additional needs, as well as working as part of a team to achieve this. I am committed to making a difference in their lives to enable them to develop, learn and grow.
