Full-time | 8:30am-3:30pm | £475-£575 per week | Denton, Manchester (M34)

Are you an experienced Teaching Assistant with a strong understanding of upper KS2 and confident supporting pupils with additional needs?

Empowering Learning are working with a Manchester primary school seeking a Year 5/6 Teaching Assistant to join their team on a full-time basis. This is a varied role which will involve supporting the class teacher with general classroom learning, while also providing targeted 1:1 and small-group SEN support.

The Opportunity

You will become an important part of the Year 5/6 team, helping pupils make progress academically while ensuring those who require additional support receive the right level of intervention.

Your responsibilities are likely to include:

Supporting pupils across the Year 5/6 curriculum.
Working 1:1 with pupils who require additional support.
Delivering small-group interventions in areas such as English and Maths.
Supporting pupils with SEN to access the wider curriculum.
Working alongside the class teacher to maintain a positive learning environment.
Helping pupils develop independence and confidence.
Supporting classroom routines and providing general TA assistance throughout the school day.

Who We're Looking For

The successful candidate will ideally have previous experience working within KS2, particularly Years 5 and 6, and be confident supporting pupils with a range of additional needs.

You don't need to be a specialist SEN practitioner, but you should be comfortable providing 1:1 support, managing small groups and adapting your approach to suit individual pupils.

Strong communication skills, reliability and a positive attitude are essential.
