Your opportunity to be part of a growing school! Can you inspire our students and provide them with the support they require to fulfil their potential?  Do you have a passion for working with students with SEN? We have 3 great opportunities for knowledgeable and efficient individuals to join us in the role of Teaching Assistants at Cornerstone School.  This is an opportunity to be part of a team that will be changing lives and positively transforming the local community.
