About the role
We are looking for experienced Learning Support Assistants to join our fantastic team. As a Learning Support Assistant, you will support our teachers to take a creative approach to teaching pupils according to their educational needs, maximizing pupil’s achievement and ability to develop.
This is a great opportunity for a Learning Support Assistant who is looking to start or continue their career in Education and is motivated to inspire learning in pupils with varied and complex needs. Your work will be challenging and rewarding in equal measure, and you will be working in a school where we maintain a strong safeguarding culture, where pupils are listened to, respected, and involved in as many decisions as possible.
Quality is always top of our agenda, and we pride ourselves on the quality of what we do. We are looking for a Learning Support Assistant who can work with individual and small groups of pupils, preparing classrooms and materials, and building positive relationships with pupils to promote interaction and learning. Our Learning Support Assistants offer essential support to our teachers and have the opportunity to assist in the planning and delivery of lessons in a creative and positive setting.
Whilst previous experience of working in an SEN/ASC environment would be desirable, excellent support skills and the right motivation, personal qualities, and levels of resilience are just as important. These roles are ideal for people working in customer-facing industries including retail, hospitality, and leisure, looking for a new role that makes a real difference to pupil’s lives and futures.
We need people who share our vision to build incredible futures by empowering vulnerable students in the UK, to be happy and to make their way in the world.
Educated to GCSE grade C or above in Maths and English, you will be calm, engaging, resilient, enjoy working as part of a team, and be genuinely motivated by helping every pupil to reach their potential.
