Looking for school-based work but unable to commit to a full working day?
Aspire People are seeking experienced SEND Teaching Assistants for short morning support opportunities in primary schools across Manchester. These roles may suit candidates looking for a small number of working hours while continuing with other employment, studies, caring responsibilities or personal commitments.
The Role:
- Providing focused support for pupils with SEND
- Helping children settle into the school day and classroom routines
- Supporting communication, engagement and transitions
- Assisting pupils with learning activities where required
- Encouraging emotional regulation and independence
- Working closely with the class teacher and support team
- Supporting personal care where required and agreed
Essential Requirements:
- Relevant UK-based SEND or Teaching Assistant experience within the last two years
- Practical experience supporting children with additional needs in a school or relevant educational setting
- A patient, reliable and supportive approach
- Strong communication and safeguarding awareness
- Confidence following individual support strategies
Candidates with experience supporting autism, communication needs, developmental delays or other SEND requirements are encouraged to apply.
The expected commitment is approximately 1-2 hours per morning, although exact times and available days will depend on the school. These are short-shift opportunities rather than full-day positions.
If you have recent SEND experience and want a role that fits around other commitments, register with Aspire People today.
