A school in Blackpool is looking for a dedicated and resilient Teaching Assistant to join their passionate team on a full-time basis. The school is a specialist secondary school supporting students with significant social, emotional, and mental health (SEMH) needs. This is not your average classroom role — it’s a demanding but incredibly rewarding position where every day is different!
Hours: Full-time (variable daily hours between 8.20-4).
Contract: Long-term with strong potential for a permanent position.
Location: Blackpool.
Pay: £13.75+ per hour depending on qualifications and experience.
What we are looking for:
* Experience supporting young people or adults with challenging behaviour and SEMH needs.
* A calm, patient, and firm approach with strong emotional resilience.
* A team player who is flexible and adaptable in a high-pressure environment.
* Someone who is genuinely passionate about helping students thrive, even when the going gets tough.
What you will receive:
* The chance to work with a committed and supportive staff team.
* Professional development and training opportunities through Teaching Personnel's CPD Academy.
* A role where you can truly see the impact of your work.
* The possibility of securing a permanent contract for the right candidate.
If you have the drive, compassion, and tenacity to support some of Blackpool’s most vulnerable young people, we’d love to hear from you.
