Job description

A Good rated school in Bolton is seeking a graduate in the core subjects to support learners with SEND and those who are struggling to reach their potential, across the curriculum.

This role would be ideal for someone considering teacher training. The role of a TA is much more "all encompassing" and you will provide some academic support, some 1:1 mentoring, and some "crisis intervention" to support students who need intervention. This is a full-time role and will run until July 2026.

Standards are high and the young people in the school are supported from day one with a uniform approach by teachers and support staff, and a calm, positive environment is noticed from the moment you enter the school. Our client enjoys a strong reputation with regards to inclusion of SEND and SEMH students and is proud of the standards they set.

You will be responsible for supporting young learners in a variety of Primary subjects. This role, due to the nature of the students, lends itself to graduates considering Primary or Secondary teacher training as you will obtain a sound understanding of the full curriculum.
