About The Setting
We're supporting a specialist school in Rugby that works with children and young people with a wide range of additional needs. The school is warm, structured, and highly supportive, with a strong focus on communication, independence, and personal development.

You'll be a great fit if you:
- Have experience supporting SEN/SEND pupils
- Are calm, patient, and resilient
- Can commit to supply work and respond to morning calls
- Are open to long‑term or temp‑to‑perm opportunities
- Work well as part of a supportive team
What you'll get in return
- Regular supply work across the week
- Morning call and pre‑booked shifts
- Weekly pay
- Temp‑to‑perm opportunities for strong candidates
- Ongoing support from our team
- A rewarding role where you can make a real impact
