Looking for a role where you can genuinely make a difference every day?

Teaching Personnel is recruiting a caring and resilient SEN Learning Support Assistant to join a specialist secondary and post-16 school in Blackley this September.

The school supports young people aged 11-19 with a range of additional learning needs and disabilities. Every student has an EHCP, and the focus is on helping learners build confidence, independence, communication skills, and positive futures.
