Vision for Education are urgently recruiting graduates to take part in our National Teaching Assistant Programme (NTAP). No experience is necessary, as full training will be provided, followed by a paid placement and then long term work supporting students in a local SEND school. This is the ideal opportunity for graduates thinking about a career in Teaching, but not in a position to commit to a PGCE. Many of our Graduate Teaching Assistants in the past have gone on to be put through their teaching qualification by schools they have worked in on supply.

Vision for Education work with SEND schools all over the North East. We work with a diverse range of special schools that cater for young people with ASC (Autistic Spectrum Condition), MLD (Moderate Learning Difficulties), PMLD (Profound and Multiple Learning Difficulties), SEMH (Social, Emotional and Mental Health difficulties) and many other complex issues.
