Are you passionate about supporting children and young people with special educational needs? Do you have experience as a carer, support worker, or working with individuals with additional needs? We're recruiting for a number of SEND Teaching Assistant positions at a specialist school in Chorley, catering for SLD (Severe Learning Difficulties) across both primary and secondary phases.
About the Role:
This is a non-qualified position ideal for anyone with a background in care, support work, or hands-on experience with individuals with SEN. The school provides high-quality education and care for pupils with SLD and complex needs. Some students are non-verbal and require more sensory-based, nurturing support; others follow a semi-formal curriculum and benefit from structured routines and communication development.
You will work as part of an outstanding, well-established team who provide training, mentoring, and a supportive environment for staff at all levels.
Key Responsibilities:
Supporting pupils with SLD and associated needs on a 1:1 or small group basis
Assisting with personal care and communication for non-verbal students
Helping deliver engaging activities for semi-formal learners
Supporting the teacher with classroom tasks and daily routines
Using sensory approaches and assistive technology to aid learning
Creating a safe, inclusive, and nurturing environment
The Ideal Candidate Will Have:
Experience working with SEN (either professionally or personally)
A background in care, support work, or similar roles is highly valued
A patient, resilient and compassionate approach
A genuine interest in supporting children with complex needs
The ability to work effectively within a team
What We Offer:
A potential temp-to-perm pathway within a well-regarded SEN school
Ongoing training and professional development
The chance to make a genuine impact in the lives of young people
Support from a dedicated team and leadership who invest in their staff
No formal teaching qualifications are required - just a strong work ethic, enthusiasm, and a willingness to learn.
