- Develop strong professional relationships with pupils, families, and staff
- Receive ongoing training and feedback from GSL and partner schools
What We\’re Looking For
- A Psychology Graduate or an experienced Teaching Assistant (with school‑based SEN support experience)
- Someone confident working with KS1, KS2 or KS3‑aged pupils with additional needs
- Strong interpersonal skills and a calm, patient, and nurturing approach
- An understanding of behavioural regulation strategies and differentiated learning
- A commitment to safeguarding and creating a safe, inclusive learning environment
- Willingness to commit to a full‑time, long‑term role
Why Work with GSL Education?
- We partner with highly supportive schools across Tameside
