Aspire People are working in partnership with a welcoming and inclusive secondary school in the leafy suburbs of Droylsden, Greater Manchester, to recruit a dedicated and passionate SEN Teaching Assistant to join their well-regarded SEND team.

This is a full-time role starting in September 2025, with the opportunity to start earlier in July for the right candidate. The successful applicant will be supporting students across two key areas:

- A recent graduate who has completed their studies and has aspirations of a career in educational psychology, teaching, or becoming a SENCO in the future

The school is looking for someone who has experience supporting students with a diverse range of needs, including:

- Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC)
- ADHD
- Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs
- Complex needs
- Specific Learning Difficulties (SpLD)
- English as an Additional Language (EAL)

Ideally, you'll also have experience:

- Delivering targeted intervention sessions to close learning gaps
- Supporting students through 1:1 or small group tutoring
- Assisting with personalised learning programmes

The school itself is located in a beautiful historic building in one of the leafier suburbs of Greater Manchester, boasting:
- Modern facilities
- Ample staff parking
- Excellent public transport links (train, tram and bus)

The SEND department is known for its friendly, nurturing environment and is fully committed to professional development. Staff are encouraged to grow in their roles, and the team is always ready to offer guidance, training and mentoring opportunities.

If you're committed to making a difference in the lives of young people and want to develop your career in a supportive setting, we'd love to hear from you.
