Whether you’re an experienced Learning Support Assistant or looking to begin a career in education, we’d love to hear from you.

This is a fantastic opportunity to make a meaningful difference by supporting pupils with a variety of learning needs, helping them to build confidence and achieve their goals.

The Role

As a Learning Support Assistant, you will:

• Assist teachers in delivering engaging and inclusive lessons.
• Help pupils overcome barriers to learning and reach their full potential.
• Support students with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND), including Autism (ASC), ADHD, Speech, Language and Communication Needs (SLCN), and Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs where required.
• Encourage positive behaviour and promote pupil wellbeing.
• Adapt learning activities to meet individual needs.
• Build positive relationships with pupils, teachers, parents, and external professionals.
• Help create a safe, inclusive, and nurturing learning environment.

• A patient, caring, and proactive approach.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
• The ability to motivate and inspire young learners.
• A commitment to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children.
• An Enhanced DBS on the Update Service, or willingness to obtain one.
