KS3 Teaching Assistant – Full Time – Bolton

Bolton
Immediate Start – July 2027
£106.80 - £110 per day
Full Time – 5 Days per Week

Are you a patient and encouraging Teaching Assistant who enjoys helping young people build confidence and stay engaged with their learning?

Premier Education is recruiting on behalf of a welcoming and high-achieving secondary school in Bolton for a Teaching Assistant to provide support to a neurodiverse pupil in KS3.

This is not a challenging behaviour role. The pupil is well behaved but benefits from having someone alongside them to provide reassurance, encouragement and gentle prompts to stay focused, complete their work and get the most from their lessons.

The school will also provide lunch every day for the successful candidate. 

The role:

• Supporting a KS3 pupil on a one-to-one basis

• Helping her remain focused and engaged during lessons

• Encouraging her to attempt and complete set work

• Providing prompts, reassurance and guidance where needed

• Supporting independence rather than completing work for her

• Liaising with teaching and SEND staff to provide consistent support

• Providing wider classroom support when appropriate

• Full time, Monday to Friday

• Ongoing role until July 2027
  
  
  

The ideal candidate will have:

• A Level 2 Teaching Assistant qualification or higher

• Experience supporting pupils with SEND or neurodiversity

• A calm, patient and encouraging approach

• The ability to build a positive relationship while maintaining appropriate boundaries

• Good spoken and written English

• Confidence supporting learning at KS3 level

• Secondary school experience is desirable

This would particularly suit someone who is warm, positive and motivating and understands how to encourage a young person without doing the work for them.

You'll be joining a supportive school with engaged pupils and experienced staff, with the opportunity to make a real difference to one pupil's confidence, independence and engagement with learning.

If you're looking for a rewarding, consistent Teaching Assistant role in Bolton, we'd love to hear from you.

Apply today with your CV for an immediate start.

Part-Time Reception SEND Teaching Assistant

Reception | 1:1 SEND Support | Part-Time

We are looking for a caring, patient and proactive Teaching Assistant with Speech and Language Therapy (SALT) training to support a child who is joining Reception at a welcoming Church of England primary school.

This is a lovely opportunity for someone who enjoys working within Early Years and providing individualised support, helping a child to settle into school, develop their communication and access learning in a way that works for them.

The role

Working closely with the class teacher and SENDCO, you will provide consistent, nurturing support. Your responsibilities will include:

• Delivering daily Speech and Language (SALT) interventions
• Supporting the planning and delivery of a bespoke curriculum, tailored to the child's individual needs
• Adapting activities and learning to make the Reception curriculum accessible and engaging
• Helping to develop and adapt the classroom sensory space around the child's needs
• Building a positive, trusting relationship with the child and helping them feel safe and confident within school
• Liaising with parents, the class teacher and SENDCO to ensure a consistent approach
• Supporting the inclusive, caring environment of the school and being comfortable supporting its Christian ethos

Who we're looking for

Previous SALT training is essential for this role, as you will be responsible for delivering daily speech and language interventions with the child.

Experience within EYFS, SEND or 1:1 support would be highly beneficial. You will need to be patient, adaptable and confident in tailoring your approach around an individual child's communication, sensory and learning needs.

This is a part-time role, initially working five mornings per week. The school would also be willing to consider four mornings and one afternoon for the right person. The working pattern will be reviewed after the first four weeks.

If you're SALT trained and looking for a rewarding part-time role where you can make a genuine difference to a child's start at school, we'd love to hear from you.
