Full-Time 1:1 SEND Teaching Assistant

Full-Time 1:1 SEND Teaching Assistant - Bolton (ASAP Start)

Are you passionate about supporting children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and complex additional needs? A welcoming primary school in Bolton is looking for a dedicated 1:1 SEND Teaching Assistant to provide consistent, individualised support to a child who requires a high level of adult assistance throughout the school day.

This is a full-time opportunity starting ASAP , with the potential to become permanent for the right candidate. The child experiences significant communication difficulties and needs a patient, reliable adult who can build a trusting relationship, provide consistent support and help them engage with their surroundings.

The role will involve:

• Dedicated 1:1 support - providing consistent, close supervision and individualised support throughout the school day.
• ASD and complex needs - supporting a child with high levels of need, including significant barriers to communication and engagement.
• Learning and development - balancing the child's individual needs with meaningful learning opportunities, encouraging progress, independence and participation wherever possible.
• Communication support - using patience, creativity and appropriate strategies to help the child communicate, interact and express their needs.
• Consistency and routine - creating a safe, predictable environment and working closely with the class teacher and wider team to maintain a consistent approach.
• Positive relationships - developing trust with the child while remaining calm, nurturing and resilient when faced with challenging situations.

Who would suit this role?

The school needs someone who understands that supporting a child with complex SEND involves much more than supervision. You must be committed to their learning, communication and development , while recognising when they need additional support, reassurance or time to regulate. Previous experience supporting children with ASD and high needs is highly desirable.

This is a rewarding opportunity to make a genuine difference to a child's school experience, joining a supportive team with the possibility of a long-term, permanent position.

If you have the patience, commitment and experience to provide consistent 1:1 SEND support , I would love to hear from you.
