Our students have a range of different needs, which may include difficulties with communication, social or physical skills and, because of this, they often need a little extra help to manage everyday activities.

- Support to progress your career at Thriftwood and across the SEAX Trust schools
- Very competitive pay, including an additional week’s pay per annum to cover training and development
