Teaching Jobs

Experienced SEND Teaching Assistant / Support 

We’re working with a number of welcoming Bolton primary schools who are looking for exceptional SEND Teaching Assistants to support pupils with additional needs.

This is not a general TA role. 

I am specifically looking for individuals who:

• Have hands-on experience supporting children with SEND (ASD, SEMH, speech & language, or complex needs)
• Understand behaviour, emotional regulation, and building trust
• Can stay calm, patient and consistent even on the toughest days
• Are proactive and use their own initiative (not waiting to be told what to do)

You might have worked as a:

• SEND TA
• Support worker / care worker
• Nursery practitioner with additional needs experience
• Youth worker or in SEMH settings

What the role involves:

• 1:1 or small group support
• Helping children access learning in and out of the classroom
• Supporting with routines, transitions, and emotional regulation
• Working closely with the class teacher and SENCO

The kind of people who do well in these roles:

You’ve supported a child through a meltdown not just observed one.
You understand that behaviour is communication.
You build relationships first, learning comes second.

Important:

Due to the nature of these roles, we are only able to progress candidates who can clearly demonstrate relevant SEND experience.

To apply, please send your CV and please include a short note outlining your SEND experience and the type of needs you’ve supported.

• The types of SEND needs you’ve supported
• A brief example of how you’ve helped a child manage behaviour or engage in learning

Applications without this may not be considered.

What you’ll get:

• Support in finding the right school for you
• Ongoing work in local Bolton schools
• Honest guidance we won’t send you somewhere that isn’t a good fit
