Are you passionate about helping children and young people with Special Educational Needs (SEN) achieve their potential?

A supportive specialist SEN school in Wigan is seeking a committed SEN Teaching Assistant to join their team from September. This is an excellent opportunity for experienced support staff, as well as candidates looking to develop careers in SEN Education, Educational Psychology, Clinical Psychology, Speech & Language Therapy, Social Work, or related fields.

You will work closely with teachers and specialist professionals, using pupils' EHCPs to identify barriers to learning and implement appropriate strategies. Alongside academic support, you will help pupils develop communication, confidence, emotional regulation, social skills, and greater independence.
