Full job descriptionWe are currently supporting a number of schools in the North Manchester area who are seeking SEN Support staff for immediate start and September start roles. Opportunities are available on a full-time, part-time and permanent basis, making this ideal for candidates looking for flexibility or long-term stability within education.
These roles are based in mainstream secondary schools and involve providing targeted support to pupils with special educational needs, including ASD, ADHD, SEMH and learning difficulties. Positions may include SEN Teaching Assistant, Learning Support Assistant, SEN Support Worker and Behaviour Support roles, working either 1:1 or in small groups to help students access the curriculum, regulate behaviour and build confidence in the classroom. Experience within secondary education or SEN settings is highly desirable, though schools are also keen to hear from committed individuals who demonstrate the right attitude, patience and resilience.
Schools are looking for reliable, proactive SEN Support staff who can start quickly, support consistency for pupils and adapt to a busy secondary school environment. In return, you can expect welcoming schools, strong pastoral structures, clear expectations and ongoing support. Long-term and permanent opportunities are available for the right candidates, with September roles offering the chance to secure a stable position ahead of the new academic year.
Whether you are an experienced SEN Teaching Assistant, a learning support professional seeking progression, or someone looking to move into a permanent school-based role, we would be keen to speak with you.
