Are you a recent university graduate? Are you interested in mental health and neurodiversity? Do you want to build your experience before becoming a qualified educational psychologist?
A fantastic SEN school in Newbury is looking for a Learning Support Assistant (LSA) to help support and motivate their pupils with additional needs. The children in the school have a range of special educational needs, including Autism, ADHD, cerebral palsy, multi-sensory impairments, speech and communication challenges, and physical disabilities. The students therefore require a Graduate who is bubbly, understanding, empathetic, and patient.
By working as a Learning Support Assistant, you will be provided with all the skills needed to undergo training as an Educational Psychologist in the future. Not only will you gain first-hand experience working with neurodivergent children, but you will also learn how to implement individualised support plans and learning strategies in the classroom to help each child reach their full potential. You will also have the unique opportunity to shadow the psychologist and therapist based on-site at the school and learn from them ahead of your future career.
At this school, no two days are the same. However, your general duties will involve working closely with a small group of SEN pupils in the classroom, supporting both their learning and emotional needs. You will ensure each child stays on track with their work, meets their milestones, and helps the class teacher make the classroom a fun and exciting environment. If you are looking for a rewarding career where you can help change the lives of vulnerable young people, then this is the role for you!
The ideal candidate will have a university degree (Psychology or Criminology would be perfect) and a C in GCSE Maths and English. Previous experience working with children would be beneficial, as well as experience supporting vulnerable individuals.
