Location: Bolton
Pay: 470 to 570 per week
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.

Why Join Empowering Learning?

• Free CPD training (safeguarding, behaviour support and more)
• Dedicated consultant support
• Easy-to-use app to manage bookings
• Networking opportunities with education professionals
