The Learning Academy Partnership has an exciting opportunity for a Learning Support Assistant to join our Trust based in All Saints Marsh C of E Academy.
Lying at the heart of the community, All Saints Marsh serves the market town of Newton Abbot, just twenty minutes from Exeter and close to the stunning coastline of the English Riviera. All Saints’ Marsh is often described as the small school with a big heart where a strong sense of family runs through everything we do; we work closely with children, their families, and the wider community.
At All Saints’ Marsh, we pride ourselves on providing every child with a rich and engaging curriculum grounded in our Christian values. Our vision is “building lifelong foundations together”. We want to ensure that every child will achieve the very best they can by working closely with the community to provide a range of experiences and opportunities for all, removing barriers to learning so every child can flourish.
We are looking for a Learning Support Assistant to support and nurture the needs of our children with Special Educational Needs who will be committed to making a profound difference to the lives of our most disadvantaged children. Experience with autism, speech and language development and knowledge of phonics would also be an advantage, but not essential.

We are dedicated to building a diverse, inclusive, and authentic workplace, so if you’re excited about the role and feel inspired by our mission to enable every child to flourish, you may just be the right candidate and we would love to hear from you!
