SEN Teaching Assistant

SEN Teaching Assistant

Some of our fantastic schools in Bury, Manchester are looking for SEN Teaching Assistants to work with children aged 4 - 19, focusing on both 1:1 and small group work. You’ll be supporting a wide range of learning needs including undiagnosed Autism, Social, Emotional Mental Health, children with limited speech and children with sensory and/ or physical needs. What’s most important is these children are supported by someone caring, nurturing and attentive to their needs.

As some of these pupils are vulnerable and have additional needs, you’ll be working with the teacher to achieve the best possible outcomes for the children and their learning. You must therefore be a highly motivated and nurturing teaching assistant with a flexible approach and be able to work in both 1:1 and group settings.

These schools pride themselves more than anything on valuing creative, flexible and supportive staff, who are dedicated in nurturing the best outcomes for the pupils. These schools have fantastic opportunities for professional development, and a competitive salary of up to £120 a day (minimum £108.50) for the right candidates, as well as continuous support from the senior leadership team and specialist colleagues. This is a great opportunity if you’re looking to kick start a career as a teaching assistant, or just develop your existing skills further.

The ideal SEN teaching assistant for this role should:

• Have experience, or a passion for working with students with additional needs, especially Autism
• Have knowledge or understanding of how to support children with SEN and SEMH
• Be flexible, proactive and patient
• Be nurturing in their approaching and interventions
• Be able to communicate effectively within a team
• Have a Background in Education, Care, Social work, Psychology or Drama, as these are very transferable.

If you are a Teaching Assistant looking for a new role, or just someone really passionate about starting a career in Special Education or working with behavioral needs, please apply with your CV. You will be contacted within the next 24 hours.
