Jan 26 - July 26

A school within the Bolton local authority is seeking a dedicated School Learning Support Assistant. In this role, you will help maintain a positive and productive learning environment, including supporting the class in the teacher's absence. Strong behaviour management skills, a proactive approach, and the ability to identify tasks that support the smooth running of the classroom are essential.

You may be placed in either KS1 or KS2, so confidence in supporting learning across Maths, English, and Science at varying ability levels is required. The role will also involve some one‑to‑one SEND support, working closely with children throughout the school day.

We are looking for someone who is adaptable, resilient, and knowledgeable about both the primary curriculum and effective approaches to supporting pupils with SEND.

• Experience in a school, residential, or other work with children and young people.
• Establish good relationships with pupils, acting as a positive role model.
• Ability to provide empathy, being aware and responding to individuals effectively.
• Recent experience working in either KS1 or KS2 or a strong understanding of both areas of primary education.
• A constructive and positive attitude towards learning and development.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to build relationships with pupils, colleagues, and parents.
• A desire to work within a school that values continuous improvement and professional growth.
• Commitment to safeguarding children, young people, and vulnerable adults, with thorough interviewing, referencing, and an enhanced DBS check.

Vision for Education is a market‑leading education recruitment and supply agency committed to the learning and development of young people. With branches across the country, we are an employer of choice for high‑quality primary, secondary and SEND teaching and support staff.

• Excellent daily rates paid weekly via PAYE.
• Guaranteed pay scheme (subject to availability and qualifying criteria).
• Pension contributions (subject to a qualifying period).
• Full compliance with AWR (Agency Workers' Regulations).
• FREE training to help with professional development, including Maths, Sensory, SEND and Inference, and other free online training packages.
• Generous refer‑a‑friend or colleague bonus scheme.
• Access to a dedicated consultant for ongoing support.
