Learning Support Assistant - Haverhill Wednesday - Friday 19.5hrs
About Us:
Due to continued growth at WS Training, we are now seeking suitably qualified staff to work at our new Haverhill Supported Learning Centre.
Any previous experience of working with young people with learning needs would obviously be an advantage but is not a requirement as we provide training and support. Our current LSAs come from a range of experiences and backgrounds. Enthusiasm and commitment are as important as experience!
You will provide high-quality support for young people/adults with varying learning disabilities, autism, mental health and/or behaviours that challenge.
Within this rewarding role you will:
1. Support young people in and out of the classroom, working towards qualifications and life skills alongside the tutors and our student support team.
2. Recognise and celebrate what the person can do for themselves.
3. Help students to learn the skills they need to live the life they choose.
4. Create positive relationships.
5. Maintain dignity and respect at all times.
So, if you are calm and empathetic, enjoy building bonds with students, and have a passion for supporting individuals with learning disabilities, we would love to hear from you.
Benefits of working for WS Training:
1. We are a Grade 2 Ofsted Provider.
2. Long-term opportunities with the option of in-house training leading to potential career progression.
3. Term time working allowing you time off in all school holidays.
4. Annual pay review against company pay scale.
5. Mileage allowance for transporting learners.
A full driving licence and use of a vehicle is preferred.
Should you be shortlisted, an application form will be sent to you which is a recruitment requirement. ‘Schools and colleges should only accept copies of a CV alongside an application form. A CV on its own will not provide adequate information’. As a provider of education, we therefore have to adhere to the KCSiE legislation and guidance.
Due to the nature of the work and our commitment to safer recruitment, you will undergo a thorough background check and will require an enhanced DBS and the Right to Work and remain in the UK. You're required to fully disclose spent, unspent and protected convictions, cautions, reprimands, and warnings.
If you do not hear from us, then please assume that you have not been shortlisted on this occasion.
