Teaching Assistant – SEND Support

Bosley St Mary’s CE Primary School is looking for a caring, confident and committed Teaching Assistant to provide 1:1 SEND support.

This is a short-term, fixed-term role starting after the October half-term break and running until Friday 18 December 2026.

The successful candidate will:

• provide dedicated 1:1 support during the school day;
• support access to learning, routines and classroom participation;
• use clear structures, visual supports and agreed strategies;
• work closely with the class teacher, SENDCo and wider staff team;
• respond calmly and consistently when additional support is needed;
• encourage independence and positive engagement;
• contribute to simple recording and monitoring of provision and progress.

Experience of working with children with additional needs would be helpful, but we are equally interested in applicants with the right approach, resilience and willingness to learn.

We are looking for someone who is warm, dependable, calm under pressure and able to maintain clear boundaries.

Bosley St Mary’s is a small, welcoming village primary school where staff work closely together and know our children well. This is an opportunity to make a real difference as part of a supportive team.
