Are you a patient and encouraging Teaching Assistant who enjoys helping young people build confidence and stay engaged with their learning?
Premier Education is recruiting on behalf of a welcoming and high-achieving secondary school in Bolton for a Teaching Assistant to provide support to a neurodiverse pupil in KS3.
This is not a challenging behaviour role. The pupil is well behaved but benefits from having someone alongside them to provide reassurance, encouragement and gentle prompts to stay focused, complete their work and get the most from their lessons.
The school will also provide lunch every day for the successful candidate.
The role:
Supporting a KS3 pupil on a one-to-one basis
Helping her remain focused and engaged during lessons
Encouraging her to attempt and complete set work
Providing prompts, reassurance and guidance where needed
Supporting independence rather than completing work for her
Liaising with teaching and SEND staff to provide consistent support
Providing wider classroom support when appropriate
Full time, Monday to Friday
Ongoing role until July 2027
The ideal candidate will have:
A Level 2 Teaching Assistant qualification or higher
Experience supporting pupils with SEND or neurodiversity
A calm, patient and encouraging approach
The ability to build a positive relationship while maintaining appropriate boundaries
Good spoken and written English
Confidence supporting learning at KS3 level
Secondary school experience is desirable
This would particularly suit someone who is warm, positive and motivating and understands how to encourage a young person without doing the work for them.
You'll be joining a supportive school with engaged pupils and experienced staff, with the opportunity to make a real difference to one pupil's confidence, independence and engagement with learning.
If you're looking for a rewarding, consistent Teaching Assistant role in Bolton, we'd love to hear from you.
Apply today with your CV for an immediate start.
