A well-regarded SEN-focused secondary school in Partington (M31) is looking for a reliable and confident teaching assistant to join their team on a full-time basis.

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone with a background in UK education who is passionate about supporting pupils with additional needs — especially those who require help staying focused and regulating their behaviour in a classroom setting.


The Role:
- You’ll be working closely with a small number of students who benefit from extra attention and structure throughout the school day. This includes:
- A student with diagnosed Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) who responds well to routine, consistency, and a calm approach
- Another pupil showing strong ADHD characteristics (though not formally diagnosed), who needs frequent redirection and help with focus during lessons

- You’ll support them 1:1 or in a small group setting, helping them to remain engaged in class and access learning alongside their peers.

This isn’t a high-stress, high-turnover environment — the school is known for its positive culture, approachable leadership, and respect for support staff.


Ideal Candidate:
- Experience working with children or young people in a UK school setting (essential)
- A confident and compassionate communicator
- Skilled at managing low-level disruption and dysregulation
- Comfortable supporting pupils with ASD and/or ADHD traits
- Able to commit to a full-time role, Monday to Friday
- Holds a DBS on the Update Service, or is willing to apply for one


Why apply through us?-
- Daily rate of up to £104 depending on your experience
- Ongoing support from consultants who understand school settings
- Access to CPD-accredited training to boost your skills
- £50 referral bonus if someone you recommend works 5 full days with us
- Opportunity for long-term or permanent offers if it’s a good fit
