Experienced SEND Teaching Assistant / Support
We're working with a number of welcoming Bolton primary schools who are looking for exceptional SEND Teaching Assistants to support pupils with additional needs.
This is not a general TA role.
I am specifically looking for individuals who:
* Have hands-on experience supporting children with SEND (ASD, SEMH, speech & language, or complex needs)
* Understand behaviour, emotional regulation, and building trust
* Can stay calm, patient and consistent even on the toughest days
* Are proactive and use their own initiative (not waiting to be told what to do)
You might have worked as a:
* SEND TA
* Support worker / care worker
* Nursery practitioner with additional needs experience
* Youth worker or in SEMH settings
What the role involves:
* 1:1 or small group support
* Helping children access learning in and out of the classroom
* Supporting with routines, transitions, and emotional regulation
* Working closely with the class teacher and SENCO
The kind of people who do well in these roles:
You've supported a child through a meltdown not just observed one.
You understand that behaviour is communication.
You build relationships first, learning comes second.
Important:
Due to the nature of these roles, we are only able to progress candidates who can clearly demonstrate relevant SEND experience.
To apply, please send your CV and please include a short note outlining your SEND experience and the type of needs you've supported.
* The types of SEND needs you've supported
* A brief example of how you've helped a child manage behaviour or engage in learning
Applications without this may not be considered.
What you'll get:
* Support in finding the right school for you
* Ongoing work in local Bolton schools
* Honest guidance we won't send you somewhere that isn't a good fit
