Aspire People are working in partnership with a large SEND School in Stockport, SK2. SLT are looking for candidates with a Sports Coaching background to work as a Teaching Assistant with a number of identified pupils. The school is a SEND School, with a diverse pupil intake, supporting pupils with a range of needs including Social Emotional Mental Health needs.
Pupils may exhibit behaviours that challenge, so potential candidates need to be confident supporting those with SEMH needs, be resilient in their approach, and committed and passionate about understanding the 'bigger picture'. Pupils follow a curriculum pathway and need support to engage, regulate their emotions, and address sensory needs.

This is a full-time role, 08:20 to 15:30 Monday to Friday term time only, on an ongoing basis starting in September, with the opportunity for permanent employment in the future.
