Long-term opportunity

Empowering Learning are recruiting for a dedicated SEN Teaching Assistant to join a primary school in the M13 area of Manchester. The successful candidate will work within the school's specialist SEN base, supporting a small group of just five children with Special Educational Needs.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys working in a more specialist setting, where building strong relationships and providing consistent, individualised support are central to the role.

You will work as part of a small team, supporting the children throughout the school day and helping them access learning in a structured, safe and positive environment.

• Supporting five children with a range of Special Educational Needs.
• Providing 1:1 and small-group support, depending on individual requirements.
• Assisting with tailored learning activities and interventions.
• Supporting children's communication, social skills and emotional development.
• Encouraging independence, confidence and positive engagement.
• Helping manage behaviour and maintain consistent classroom routines.
• Working closely with the class teacher and wider school staff to meet each child's needs.

The school would particularly welcome applications from Teaching Assistants who have previous experience supporting children with SEN, whether in a mainstream primary school, specialist provision or dedicated SEN setting.

You should be patient, adaptable and confident responding to different needs and behaviours. Most importantly, you'll need to be passionate about helping children make progress at their own pace.

• Full-time, Monday-Friday position.
• Working hours of 8:30am-3:30pm.
• £475-£575 per week.
• Small specialist setting within a mainstream primary school.
• Opportunity to make a genuine difference to a close-knit group of pupils.
• Ongoing support from your dedicated Empowering Learning consultant.
