Job description
🌟TA2 Teaching Assistant Level 2 | SALFORD | Full Time🌟
Prospero Teaching is recruiting a dedicated experienced Teaching Assistant to join a purpose-built specialist school in Salford, supporting young people with Social, Emotional, and Mental Health (SEMH) needs. This setting provides a structured, nurturing environment for students who require additional guidance to reach their full potential.
The students can present with challenging behaviours, but staff who are calm, patient, resilient, and compassionate make a real difference every day. This is a rewarding opportunity for someone who truly wants to support young people and help them grow.
We’ve proudly partnered with this school group for several years, and they are particularly keen to hear from enthusiastic graduates or individuals looking to build a long-term career in education. This role also suits experienced SEMH or youth support workers seeking a more dynamic role that includes work both in school and out in the community.
Please apply ASAP for a September start to enable time for interviews.
