Empowering Learning are looking to recruit a caring, enthusiastic and committed Learning Support Assistant to work within a primary school in the M13 area of Manchester.

This position is based within the school's dedicated SEN base, supporting a small group of five children with Special Educational Needs. The role would suit someone who is passionate about supporting children who require additional help and enjoys working in a smaller, more tailored learning environment.

Duties will include:

Providing day-to-day learning support to a group of five children with SEN.

Previous experience working with children with Special Educational Needs is highly desirable. This could be within a mainstream primary school, specialist provision, SEN base or alternative educational setting.

You'll need to be patient, understanding and adaptable, with the confidence to respond to different learning styles, individual needs and behaviours. A positive attitude and a genuine commitment to helping children develop are essential.
