Are you a patient and encouraging Teaching Assistant who enjoys helping young people build confidence and stay engaged with their learning?

Premier Education is recruiting on behalf of a welcoming and high-achieving secondary school in Bolton for a Teaching Assistant to provide support to a neurodiverse pupil in KS3.

This is not a challenging behaviour role. The pupil is well behaved but benefits from having someone alongside them to provide reassurance, encouragement and gentle prompts to stay focused, complete their work and get the most from their lessons.

The school will also provide lunch every day for the successful candidate.

The role:

Supporting a KS3 pupil on a one-to-one basis

Helping her remain focused and engaged during lessons

Encouraging her to attempt and complete set work

Providing prompts, reassurance and guidance where needed

Supporting independence rather than completing work for her

Liaising with teaching and SEND staff to provide consistent support

Providing wider classroom support when appropriate

Full time, Monday to Friday

Ongoing role until July 2027

The ideal candidate will have:

A Level 2 Teaching Assistant qualification or higher

Experience supporting pupils with SEND or neurodiversity

A calm, patient and encouraging approach

The ability to build a positive relationship while maintaining appropriate boundaries

Good spoken and written English

Confidence supporting learning at KS3 level

Secondary school experience is desirable

This would particularly suit someone who is warm, positive and motivating and understands how to encourage a young person without doing the work for them.

You'll be joining a supportive school with engaged pupils and experienced staff, with the opportunity to make a real difference to one pupil's confidence, independence and engagement with learning.

If you're looking for a rewarding, consistent Teaching Assistant role in Bolton, we'd love to hear from you.

Apply today with your CV for an immediate start.
