Job description
A secondary school in the south Manchester area is looking for a number of Learning Support Assistants to join their SEN department working with students who require additional support, starting at the beginning on the new academic year in September. The school are looking for Learning Support Assistants who are ideally experienced in providing in-class support as a support member of a school team but this is not essential. Prior experience in any educational setting would be highly desirable including youth work, support work or mentoring.
The successful educators should be confident in working with students of all ages between 11 and 16 as the timetable is such that it covers all year groups and across a variety of subjects. There may also be the opportunity to provide support to smaller groups of students or on a 1 to 1 basis depending upon your subject specialism.
Important highlights of the Learning Support Assistant role:
- Earn up to £1850 per month supporting as a Learning Support Assistant dependent upon confirmed hours
- Start at this supportive school on Thursday 4th September 2025
- Opportunity to assist within the classroom, working under the direction of the class teacher but also on a 1 to 1 basis with students outside of the classroom
- A chance to work across all subjects and with a variety of students, including those with SEN, gifted and talented and those that require additional support with certain subject areas
- Work with specific students identified as requiring additional assistance
Any interest or experience working as a Teaching Assistant in the past or in a similar setting would be highly desirable so please do highlight this on your application. This could be working with students that require behavioural assistance or providing intervention. The school are looking for individuals who are looking for a support assistant role and are therefore keen on pursuing a career in the education sector. Confidence, adaptability and being motivated are key aspects of this support role.
The school is situated in the central area of South Manchester, which is very easily accessible from the surrounding areas of Stockport, Burnage, Cheadle, Bramhall and Reddish Vale to name just a few. This school would suit a Learning Support Assistant who is located in the Wythenshawe or Altrincham/Sale area given the local transport links in the surrounding areas. If the successful Learning Support Assistant drove, then this could also be easily accessed via the M60 ring road with the school having a large on site, secure car park.
- Work within the SEN department, assisting students that require further support
- Also suitable for those who may not have had school based experience but perhaps youth work experience or worked supporting young adults aged 11 – 16
If you are an experienced LSA, TA, Mentor or have transferable skills which would stand you in good stead to fulfil this role well, then please apply now with your latest CV and a short covering statement.
