Job Type: Full-time, Temporary
Start Date: Immediate

Could you be the calm, familiar face that helps a child feel safe at school every single day?

A welcoming primary school in Bolton is seeking a Teaching Assistant to work alongside a pupil with multiple additional needs. For this child, a trusted adult makes all the difference. You will be that person, offering steady, gentle support from the moment they arrive until home time.

The Role
This is a care-focused position where the relationship comes first. You will help the pupil feel secure, comfortable and included, and support them to take part in school life at a pace that suits them.

• Provide dedicated 1:1 support throughout the school day
• Build a warm, trusting bond with the pupil over time
• Assist with personal care, daily routines and communication
• Support emotional wellbeing and help the pupil feel settled
• Follow care plans and guidance from teachers, the SENCO and families
• Recognise and celebrate every small achievement

Why This Role?

• Immediate start, with no lengthy wait
• See the difference you make in one child's life, every day
• Friendly, supportive team and clear guidance on the pupil's needs
• Excellent grounding for a future in SEN, teaching, psychology or care
• Competitive weekly pay of £470 to £570, depending on experience

We're Looking For

• Experience supporting others, such as in a TA, LSA, support worker, care, youth work or volunteering role
• Psychology, education, childcare or health and social care graduates are very welcome
• Specialist school or residential children's home experience is desirable, but not essential
• A patient, kind and reliable nature
• Resilience and a positive outlook when days are challenging

No prior SEN experience? That's fine. Your compassion and commitment matter just as much, and you will be fully supported from day one.

• Dedicated consultant support
• Easy-to-use app to manage bookings
• Networking opportunities with education professionals
