Experienced SEND Teaching Assistant

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.

• 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:

• SEND TA
• Support worker / care worker
• Nursery practitioner with additional needs experience
• Youth worker or in SEMH settings

• 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

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.

• 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
