SEND Teaching Assistant job summary

We are seeking a caring and committed SEND Teaching Assistant to join our team. This rewarding role offers the opportunity to make a real difference to the lives of children by supporting their learning, wellbeing and personal development both inside and outside the classroom.

Due to Crown Street Primary's unique location, there is no parking on site. However, there are Pay & Display bays on the surrounding roads of Great Jackson Street, which is where Crown Street Primary School is located. Public transport is excellent, with Crown Street Primary School being a 7-minute walk from Deansgate Train Station and Deansgate-Castlefield Tram Stop. We also offer interest free loans for the purchase of annual travel tickets.

Here at the Laurus Trust we are able to provide a cutting-edge SEND provision that has a positive impact on our young people, and we are currently looking to recruit caring and dedicated individuals to join our SEND team.

If you would like to join our Laurus family in a rewarding role that changes the lives of our pupils by empowering them to become the best that they can then we would love to hear from you. 

This position is contracted on a 30 hours per week Term Time only (Monday - Friday 8:45am - 3:15pm). This means you will mainly work when the school is open to pupils and will not need to work during the school holidays unless the contract requires you to do so.
