Are you passionate about making a difference in the lives of children with Special Educational Needs?

Do you want to be part of a supportive and nurturing school community that puts pupils at the heart of everything it does?

We are working to support a specialist school in Manchester to recruit full-time Teaching Assistants to join their dedicated and experienced team.

  • Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) difficulties
  • Sensory and/or Physical Needs

SEN TA - About The Role
As a Teaching Assistant you will play a key role in supporting pupils to access a rich, engaging curriculum tailored to their individual needs. You'll work closely with teaching staff and other professionals to help children thrive socially, emotionally, and academically.

SEN TA - Key Responsibilities

  • Supporting pupils on a 1:1 basis or in small groups with their learning and development
  • Assisting with the delivery of personalised learning plans
  • Helping pupils to build confidence, communication, and independence
  • Supporting the management of behaviour in a positive, inclusive way
  • Ensure a safe, caring and supportive learning environment

SEN TA - What We're Looking For

  • Experience working with children with SEN (particularly MLD, ASD, or communication difficulties) is highly desirable
  • A calm, patient, and empathetic approach
  • A genuine passion for working with children who have additional needs

If you're ready to be part of a school where every child is valued and every achievement celebrated, we'd love to hear from you.
