Teaching Assistant

SEN Teaching Assistant required for a large, vibrant primary school in Manchester from September. This role is to support a child with additional needs on a 1:1 basis.

The Teaching Assistant role is full-time for the academic year and is primarily to support a child with additional needs. The child has challenging behaviour and some traits of ADHD and autism. The school is looking for someone with strong knowledge and understanding of how to interact effectively when a child's emotions are heightened, and who is skilled in de-escalating behaviour.
