Two Permanent Teaching Assistants Level 2 - April 2025

Overview

Rumworth School is a highly regarded Local Education Authority maintained special school in Bolton with an excellent reputation for providing an outstanding provision for all students. Visitors to our school always comment on the “lovely feeling and buzz” and the calm & purposeful learning environment. We currently cater for a range of learning difficulties and additional needs for 335 students, with a planned building expansion programme to offer 400 places.  Our students are aged 11-19 and they all have an EHCP because they have a range of SEND which may include:  Moderate and Severe Learning Difficulties, Complex Needs, Autistic Spectrum Conditions, Hearing and Visual Impairment, Physical Disability and Social, Emotional and Mental Health Needs. What our students most definitely do all have is a wonderful sense of fun, a love of learning, a high regard for each other and the adults who work with them, and they can’t wait to meet you!

Personal attributes

We are always keen to recruit staff of the highest calibre, and what matters most to us is that you are the “right fit” for our students. We do have a degree of internal flexibility when it comes to the age range you would be most keen to work with and the type of student needs that you have experience with. We welcome applications from people with mainstream experience, and those with SEND special school experience.

As this post requires GCSE grade C or above in both maths and English (or equivalent qualifications), we would also need you to provide proof of those qualification certificates at interview or prior to appointment.
