An opportunity has arisen within our successful and highly skilled team for a teaching assistant to join our school. At Turton our children are fiercely loyal, and so we are looking for someone who is just as committed to them.

Our Learning Support department is looking for suitably motivated and enthusiastic individuals to join a large team of friendly Teaching Assistants. The Learning Support Department engages with a range of students with additional needs, including communication and interaction, cognition and learning, SEMH, sensory and physical difficulties. Duties will include supporting in mainstream lessons, working with pupils in small groups or 1 to 1 sessions, to progress pupil learning both educationally and personally, encouraging their engagement in lessons whilst promoting inclusion and the holistic development of the pupil.

Any pastoral position is highly fluid, but the things we can guarantee are:

Location: Bromley Cross (rural suburbs of Bolton)
SNA Allowance (awarded upon successful completion of the six-month probationary period)
Training: passion for supporting young people with additional needs is most important
Opportunities for career development
Bespoke CPD opportunities
25 hours over five days; with flexibility within these hours
A consideration of part time work or job share
A warm, caring, dedicated set of colleagues, who are very keen to learn from you
