Tempest is proud to be working on behalf of a specialist SEND school in Cheadle, Stockport, seeking a committed, compassionate, and proactive Special Needs Teaching Assistant / Support Worker to join their dedicated team. This is a rewarding role supporting young people with a wide range of additional needs in both educational and residential settings.

About the Role

You will be supporting children and young people with complex needs, many of whom also live within the school's residential provision.

Experience working with young people or adults with additional needs

A Child and Adult DBS on the Update Service

Excellent verbal communication skills

The ability to work effectively as part of a team and independently

A proactive, caring, and adaptable approach

Preferred but not essential:

Experience with personal care

What We're Looking For

We are seeking someone who is:

Compassionate and understanding

Able to stay calm under pressure

Positive, proactive, and reliable

Comfortable supporting behaviour and emotional needs

Happy working 1:1 as well as within small groups

Why Tempest?

Joining Tempest means joining an agency that values its staff, listens, and places people in roles where they can genuinely make a difference.

If you're passionate about supporting young people with complex needs and want a role where every day brings new opportunities to help students thrive-we want to hear from you.
