New Directions Education are looking for a strong, experienced SEND Teaching Assistant to join a primary school in North Manchester as soon as possible. The school needs someone who can hit the ground running, has plenty of hands on SEND experience and, just as importantly, brings the right attitude to the team. The initial booking is until Christmas, with the possibility of an extension.
About the school & role
Based in North Manchester, the school is a busy mainstream primary setting with a welcoming team and a strong focus on supporting pupils with additional needs.
You’ll be providing dedicated 1:1 support to a Year 4 child, helping them access learning, manage their needs and get the most out of their school day.
This is a full-time role, Monday to Friday, 8:30am–3:30pm, starting ASAP and initially running until Christmas, with the potential to continue beyond this.
The ideal candidate
