This is a fantastic opportunity for someone with previous SEND experience who enjoys working with young people, can confidently manage behaviour and is comfortable supporting pupils across different classrooms and year groups.
We are looking for someone proactive, adaptable and able to think on their feet. You must be confident setting boundaries, managing challenging behaviour and building positive relationships with secondary-aged pupils.

• Providing 1:1 and small-group support where required.
• Managing behaviour confidently and consistently.
• Supporting pupils with autism, ADHD, learning difficulties and social, emotional and mental health needs.
• Encouraging positive behaviour, engagement and independence.
• Helping pupils access lessons and remain focused on learning.
• Building positive relationships with pupils and school staff.
• Working collaboratively with teachers and the wider support team.
Essential Requirements
To be considered for this position, you must:
• Have at least 6 months' relevant UK SEND experience, gained through paid employment, extensive personal caring responsibilities or voluntary experience supporting children or adults with SEND.
• Be aged 18 or over.
• Hold an Enhanced DBS on the Update Service or be willing to apply for one.
• Be available Monday–Friday, 8:30am–3:30pm.
• Be confident managing behaviour and dealing with challenging situations.
• Be comfortable supporting secondary-aged pupils across different classrooms and year groups.
• Be proactive, resilient, reliable and confident using your initiative.
• Be able to travel reliably to WN6.
• Have an overseas police clearance certificate for any country where you have spent six months or more within the last five years (where applicable).
Location & Working Hours
Location: Wigan, WN6
Hours: Monday–Friday, 8:30am–3:30pm
Reliable travel to WN6 is essential. Candidates must be comfortable commuting to the school consistently.
Who Would Suit This Role?
This position would suit someone who is confident, assertive and approachable, with the ability to build trust while maintaining clear boundaries.
You must be comfortable working in a busy secondary school environment, adapting to different situations and managing behaviour without becoming overwhelmed.
Ready to Apply?
If you have previous UK SEND experience, are confident managing behaviour and enjoy supporting young people, we'd love to hear from you!
Whether your experience comes from paid employment, voluntary work or extensive personal caring responsibilities, we welcome applications from individuals with the right skills, attitude and experience.
