Type: Full-time and Flexible Options Available
Location: Bolton, Bury & Salford Placements available
We’re seeking caring, reliable and proactive individuals to join our Bolton-based special needs secondary school as a 1:1 SEN Teaching Assistant. This is an excellent opportunity to gain hands-on experience supporting young people with Autism (ASC), Moderate to Profound and Multiple Learning Difficulties (MLD–PMLD), and a range of complex learning and communication needs.
What You’ll Be Doing: A Day in the Life
1:1 Student Support
You will work closely with an individual student or rotate among students depending on the needs of the class. You’ll build trust and consistency, helping each young person engage in learning, communicate more effectively, and navigate the school day with confidence. You may support emotional regulation, sensory processing, mobility or personal care, depending on the student’s needs.
In the Classroom
You’ll assist the class teacher in delivering adapted lessons to small groups and the whole class. You’ll help prepare resources, support differentiated activities, and maintain a structured and inclusive learning environment. You’ll play a key role in encouraging participation, managing transitions and reinforcing routines that help students thrive.
Daily Learning and Problem-Solving
Every day will bring different challenges and rewards. You’ll learn to adapt your approach depending on what works best for each student, whether that’s supporting a student during a sensory overload, finding a new way to explain a concept, or simply being a steady, reassuring presence.
Collaborative Working
You’ll be part of a wider team of teachers, therapists and support staff. You’ll regularly reflect with colleagues, share strategies, and contribute to consistent and holistic support for each student.
Who This Role Is For
You don’t need formal teaching qualifications, but you should have some experience supporting children or young people - this might be through work, volunteering, family life, or another care-related setting.

This role may be ideal for:
Psychology, education or health graduates looking for direct experience
Youth workers, support workers or mentors considering a move into education
Parents or carers returning to work
Individuals exploring careers in teaching, therapy, or social care
Anyone with a calm, patient and flexible approach who is committed to supporting young people with complex needs
What You’ll Gain
A meaningful role where you’ll make a real impact every day
Practical experience in a highly supportive SEN setting
Exposure to a wide range of strategies and approaches used to support students with Autism and complex needs
Ongoing training and support from a dedicated team
Full-time and part-time/flexible options to suit your schedule
A great stepping stone into careers in education, care, psychology or therapy
