SEN Teaching Assistant - Blackley, Manchester M9

Location: Blackley, Manchester M9
Hours: Full-time, Monday-Friday, 8:30am-3:30pm
Pay: £475-£575 per week
Contract: Long-term opportunity

Empowering Learning are currently recruiting for a SEN Teaching Assistant to join a welcoming primary school in Blackley (M9). The successful candidate will work within a small SEN provision, supporting a teacher and a group of four children with additional needs.

This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced Teaching Assistant who enjoys working in a smaller, more specialist environment and can provide calm, consistent and individualised support.

The Role

You will work closely alongside the class teacher to support the four pupils within the provision, helping to create a structured and positive learning environment. Responsibilities will include:

Providing targeted support to children with a range of additional needs.
Supporting pupils on a 1:1 and small-group basis where required.
Assisting with learning activities, interventions and classroom routines.
Helping pupils to develop their confidence, independence and engagement.
Supporting children with their social, emotional and behavioural needs.
Working closely with the class teacher and wider school team.

What We're Looking For

The school is keen to hear from candidates who have previous experience working with children with SEN or additional needs. You should be patient, adaptable and confident working as part of a small team.

Experience within a specialist provision, SEN school or primary setting would be highly beneficial, although strong mainstream SEN experience will also be considered.

Why Apply?

Full-time, long-term opportunity.
£475-£575 per week.
Supportive school environment.
Small-group setting with excellent opportunities to build strong relationships with pupils.
Dedicated consultant support from Empowering Learning.If you are an experienced SEN Teaching Assistant looking for a rewarding opportunity in Blackley, we'd love to hear from you.

To apply, please send your CV to or call (phone number removed).
