Specific duties-

Benefits-

  • Pay of up to £350 a week dependent upon experience.
  • Supportive colleagues and vast opportunities for professional development.

'Teaching is good throughout the school. All lessons are characterised by excellent relationships between all staff and by pupil's positive attitudes to learning.'- Ofsted

The school are ideally seeking a Learning Support Assistant with experience of working with special educational needs and an understanding of the KS1 and/or Early Years Curriculum.

Our partner primary school enjoys an excellent reputation and as a result is one of the largest in Manchester with over 600 pupils currently on roll.

It is also situated close to the M56 which offers direct access to Altrincham, Timperley and Sale.
