Are you passionate about helping young people overcome barriers and reach their full potential?

Teaching Personnel are recruiting a Learning Support Assistant to join a welcoming and specialist Secondary SEN School in Bury, supporting students aged 11-19 with a range of additional needs.

⭐ Support students on a 1:1 and small group basis
⭐ Encourage engagement, learning and participation in lessons
⭐ Assist with communication, social and emotional development
⭐ Provide personal care support where required, ensuring dignity and respect at all times
⭐ Help students develop independence and self-confidence
⭐ Build positive and trusting relationships with young people

⭐ Celebrate every achievement, big or small

✔ Caring, patient and resilient
✔ Passionate about supporting young people with additional needs
✔ A strong communicator and team player
✔ Adaptable and proactive in their approach
✔ Available full-time

Previous experience working with children, young people or within SEN settings is desirable but not essential.

✅ Competitive weekly pay
✅ Long-term opportunity in a supportive SEN setting
✅ Ongoing CPD and training opportunities
✅ Dedicated consultant support throughout your placement
✅ The chance to make a genuine impact on young people's lives

If you're looking for a rewarding role where every day brings the opportunity to change a young person's future, we'd love to hear from you.
