About this job

Specialist SEN Teaching Assistant - Rossendale

A friendly and forward‑thinking mainstream primary school in Haslingden is preparing to open a small, dedicated SEN hub and is now looking to welcome a Specialist SEN Teaching Assistant to be part of this exciting next chapter.

This role would suit someone with strong SEN experience, particularly those who have previously worked in a specialist SEN school and are confident supporting pupils with a range of additional needs. Experience working with children in EYFS is also important, as the unit will support early learning, development and emotional regulation.

The school is keen to find someone who can bring both expertise and care into a developing provision, helping to shape a nurturing and structured environment from the start.

The ideal candidate will have:
  • Proven experience working with children with special educational needs
  • Previous experience in a specialist SEN setting (priority for this role)
  • Experience supporting children in EYFS
  • A calm, patient and flexible approach
  • Confidence working as part of a wider school team
  • A genuine passion for inclusion and making a difference
    • The school offers:
  • The opportunity to be involved in the development of a brand‑new SEN unit
  • A welcoming, supportive staff team
  • A mainstream setting with a strong commitment to inclusion
  • A rewarding role where your SEN experience will truly be valued

    • If you are an experienced SEN Teaching Assistant looking to take on a meaningful role within a mainstream school setting, this is a fantastic opportunity to be part of something special from the ground up.

    Please get in touch for more information or to apply.
