Are you passionate about education and committed to supporting students to reach their full potential? We are currently working in partnership with a fantastic school in Macclesfield, where the needs of the students are number one priority.

The school are seeking experienced teaching assistants, on permanent basis.

Part of the role will be supporting the Teacher to assist students to work towards their GCSE'S and optional vocational study options.


As a teaching assistant, you will play a crucial role in supporting and mentoring our students throughout their educational journey.

Your main responsibility will be to provide guidance, instruction, whilst inspiring students and challenging their mindset. Your expertise will empower students to develop their skills, gain confidence, and achieve their educational goals.

About the school

The school offers a broad and balanced curriculum with both practical and vocational routes available.

We have a huge focus on student wellbeing and pride ourselves on creating an environment that is challenging and supportive.

Students have access to an on-site counsellor who supports them to challenge their mindset and approach to learning.

The school is currently extending their vocational study options as of September following them obtaining a new building which is going to reflect each workplace setting.

Students will have the opportunity to do hands on learning that will allow them to obtain the qualifications to be successful in the future.


Although we support students who may display challenging behaviour at times, the school has strong values and ethos and actively works with students to understand, manage, and regulate their feelings.

As a result, challenging behaviour is an infrequent occurrence.

Our students work towards reintegrating back into mainstream provision by providing the tools and strategies to support their future.

Our school was recently refurbished in 2023 with a huge renovation and extension to ensure the learning environment was fit for purpose.

We now offer opportunities like a D&T workshop, hairdressing, and an extensive art workshop.
