“Working together for an education for life”
Level 2 (Grade 3) SEND Teaching Assistant required for September 2025
Higher Failsworth is a larger than average school with approximately 440 children (with 14 currently on EHC plans) and 50+ staff. It is a large building with many original features (it is 108 years old) which has been adapted so that space is used creatively. Higher Failsworth is within the borough of Oldham but its location means it is ideally suited to candidates living in the Greater Manchester area, being very close to Manchester city centre, motorway networks (school is 5 minutes from M60), bus routes and a Metrolink station.
Our school serves a richly diverse community and we do our utmost to ensure that each child is given every opportunity to learn and succeed.
