Are you an experienced Teaching Assistant (TA) or Support Worker looking for a rewarding part-time morning role in Blackpool?
We are recruiting a dedicated Part-Time Teaching Assistant to provide vital 1:1 support for a pupil within an Alternative Provision (AP) setting. Starting on 1st June 2026, this role is perfect for a resilient, empathetic professional who excels at engaging young people who face barriers to mainstream education.
If you have a background in SEN (Special Educational Needs), SEMH (Social, Emotional and Mental Health), or youth work, this is a fantastic opportunity to make a tangible difference.

Implement personalised learning plans, adapting tasks to suit the pupil's specific emotional and academic needs.
Utilise positive behaviour management and de-escalation strategies to maintain a safe, focussed learning space.
Foster confidence, emotional regulation, and social skills.
Collaborate closely with teachers, the SENDCo, and external support teams to monitor and review progress.
What We Are Looking For (Job Requirements):
Experience: Proven track record working with children or young people with SEN, SEMH, or behavioural challenges (e.g., in a PRU, Alternative Provision, or specialist setting).
Qualifications: A Level 2 or Level 3 Teaching Assistant qualification is highly desirable. Training in Team Teach, MAPA, or similar de-escalation techniques is a major advantage.
Skills: Exceptional patience, strong communication skills, and a non-judgemental, empathetic approach.
Reliability: Consistency is crucial for this pupil; we need someone committed to the daily 08:30 - 12:30 routine.
