Job description

SEND Teaching Assistant (JOB-64117) Wigan, England

SEND Teaching Assistant

SEND Teaching Assistant – Primary and Specialist Schools
Wigan, Leigh and Atherton
Full-time & part-time opportunities

Do you have a real strength for supporting children who need that little bit more?

We're recruiting experienced Teaching Assistants to support pupils with additional needs in primary schools across Wigan.

We're particularly interested in people who have experience supporting children with needs such as ASC, ADHD, communication difficulties, SEMH or challenging behaviour, whether that's within a mainstream classroom, specialist provision or through 1:1 support.

You could be:

• Providing dedicated 1:1 support
• Helping a pupil regulate and engage with learning
• Supporting communication and interaction
• Delivering targeted interventions
• Adapting classroom activities
• Supporting personal care where required
• Working closely with teachers and SENDCOs to provide consistent support

You don't necessarily need years and years of experience. We're interested in people with the right practical experience, resilience and approach to children.

Experience from care, healthcare or specialist settings may also be relevant alongside school-based experience.

Premier Education works with primary and SEND settings across Wigan, with opportunities ranging from flexible supply to longer-term placements.

If you're a calm, patient and confident TA who enjoys helping children overcome barriers, we'd really like to hear from you.
