Exciting Opportunity: Primary Teaching Assistant (SEN) – Chorley

Are you an energetic and enthusiastic individual looking to make a positive impact on young learners with special educational needs? We have an exciting opportunity for a Primary Teaching Assistant to join a leading SEN school in the Chorley area.

This is a long-term, flexible role, ideal for someone who thrives in a dynamic environment and is passionate about supporting children with a range of learning difficulties.

Key Responsibilities:

• Assist in the classroom, supporting teachers in delivering creative and engaging lessons tailored to primary-age pupils with special educational needs (SEN).
• Provide one-on-one and group support to help children with autism, ADHD, and other learning difficulties thrive both academically and socially.
• Create a nurturing and stimulating environment where children feel safe and encouraged to develop their skills and independence.
• Participate in active learning and outdoor activities, helping children engage physically and mentally.

What We’re Looking For:

• A lively, active individual who enjoys working with children and is willing to get involved in all aspects of school life, including physical activities.

• The flexibility to work on a long-term basis, with hours that may vary to meet the needs of the school.
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to build strong relationships with both pupils and staff.

What We Offer:

• A supportive, inclusive school environment where your contribution is valued.
• Opportunities for professional development and on-the-job training.
• Flexibility in hours and working patterns to suit your availability.
• The chance to make a meaningful difference in the lives of children, helping them grow and achieve their potential.
