Are you passionate about supporting children with additional needs? Do you have experience in support work, youth work, care work, or personal lived experience supporting individuals with SEND? If so, this could be the perfect opportunity for you.

We are seeking a committed, compassionate and resilient SEND Teaching Assistant to join a welcoming and supportive school in Skelmersdale. This is a rewarding role where you will make a genuine difference every single day.

What We're Looking For:

  • A calm, patient and nurturing approach

  • Strong communication and behaviour management skills

  • Resilience and the ability to remain positive in challenging situations

  • A genuine passion for helping children reach their full potential

  • Willingness to support personal care needs where necessary

  • Enhanced DBS (or willingness to obtain one)

Why Apply?

  • Term time only - excellent work-life balance

  • Consistent Monday to Friday hours (08:30-15:30)

  • Competitive daily rate of £106

  • Opportunity to gain valuable school-based SEND experience

  • Supportive school environment with ongoing guidance

This role is ideal for experienced SEND Teaching Assistants, youth workers, care workers, or individuals looking to transition into education from support-based roles.

If you are dedicated, empathetic and ready to have a meaningful impact, we would love to hear from you.
