Part of the New Bridge Multi Academy Trust, Spring Brook School caters for pupils with a range of Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) difficulties. The school operates on a split site basis with the primary provision based in Hollins and the KS3 provision based in Failsworth.
Spring Brook Lower School is a unique place where pupils aged 5-11 are nurtured and developed to encourage independence and skills for life. Their social, emotional and mental health needs are at the forefront of our work. We offer a joined up, topic-based curriculum which suits our learners’ needs. The school also operates specialised intervention groups where pupils can focus on the development of a range of skills from social, emotional and mental health to a range of academic subjects.
Due to the complex needs of our students, high levels of emotional and physical resilience are needed in dealing with challenging behaviour. However, the knowledge that our work is making a positive impact in helping the young people to grow and work towards independence brings great reward.
We currently have a vacancy for an experienced, resilient and highly committed Level 2 Teaching Assistant to join the fantastic team at our primary provision based in Hollins.

- The physical and emotional resilience to support students with complex needs, taking a non-judgemental approach
- The ability to support teaching and learning within an SEMH setting to a dedicated group of students
- The ability to support the class teacher to monitor student progress, ensuring their improved engagement with the school and their learning
- The ability to record student progress and provide regular feedback to stakeholders
- The ability to model and encourage appropriate social behaviour in and out of school and to cater for the general welfare of students.
- The ability to work in partnership with classroom teachers to differentiate appropriate interventions for students in relation to the curriculum
- The ability to work as part of a team using own initiative when needed
- Willingness to participate in own professional development
