Are you passionate about helping children feel confident, supported and ready to learn? Whether you’re an experienced Teaching Assistant, a graduate looking to gain school-based experience or someone with transferable skills from care, youth work or support roles, this could be the perfect opportunity for you.

We are recruiting a Teaching Assistant to join a specialist school in Greater Manchester. This is a genuinely rewarding role where no two days are the same, and every small achievement feels like a big win. You’ll work closely with an experienced team including class teachers, the SENCO, pastoral staff and skilled support assistants, with access to excellent facilities.

Responsibilities

  • Provide in‑class support for SEN pupils
  • Provide 1:1 and small group support to pupils
  • Help pupils access learning and stay engaged throughout the school day
  • Support classroom routines, transitions and break‑times
  • Work closely with teachers and the SEND team to monitor progress and wellbeing

Requirements

  • Experience with children/young people (schools, care, youth work, coaching or similar)
  • A patient, nurturing and resilient approach
  • SEN/SEMH experience is essential
  • A degree would be advantageous but not essential
  • Strong communication and teamwork skills
  • Willingness to support personal care if required
  • Enhanced DBS on the Update Service (or willingness to apply)
  • All applicants will require the appropriate qualifications and training for this role

All applicants must have a permanent residence and right to work in the UK. This advert is for a temporary position, and in some cases, the option to make this role permanent may become available at a later date.
