William Hulme's Grammar School (WHGS) is an all-through school and one of the most over-subscribed schools in Manchester. We have an excellent reputation and high aspirations for all our students, who enjoy an academic and creatively rich curriculum and are equipped with the skills that will help them to become responsible members of the local and global community.

Thank you very much for your interest in applying to be a Learning Support Assistant in the Resourced Provision at William Hulme's Grammar School (WHGS).

The LSA role is vital in supporting teaching staff in the delivery of lessons by supporting students with learning difficulties and/or disabilities in mainstream classes and in our Resourced Provision. We are looking for an individual with experience of working with SEND children and particularly children with an EHCP, on the autism spectrum. The successful candidate must be patient, caring, supportive and willing to work with a committed staff team. The ability to work and communicate well with parents and with natural authority is essential for this post.


The ideal candidate will have a relevant Level 3 Qualification or be willing to enrol on the United Learning Level 3 Teaching Assistant Apprenticeship programme. Good numeracy and literacy are required as well as sound ICT skills.

This is an exciting time to join William Hulme's Grammar School as the planned expansion of the Resourced Provision will move the facility into a purpose-built 30 place all-through centre. As such, this is a rewarding role for a SEND LSA who enjoys working with some of our most vulnerable students yet sets themselves the highest of standards and expectations.

Essential qualifications: Minimum grade A-C or 9-4 in GCSE English Language and Mathematics (or equivalent), TA3/Level 3 qualification.

Further details are available in the recruitment pack.

In return, we offer a highly competitive remuneration package, a vibrant place to work with great staff and students, where you will find a genuine commitment to continuing and enhancing your professional development.
