Are you looking for a rewarding role where you can make a real difference in young people’s lives? Do you have the patience, empathy, and willingness to learn? If so, this could be the perfect opportunity for you!
We are seeking a Learning Support Assistant (LSA) to join our Specialist Resource Hub, supporting students with Social, Emotional, and Mental Health (SEMH) needs and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in a mainstream Secondary school. Managed by Wakefield Council, the hub provides a structured, supportive environment where students can thrive.
What we’re looking for?
* Experience or a passion for working with students with additional needs, especially Autism.
* Knowledge or understanding of how to support children with SEN and SEMH.
* Flexibility, proactivity, and patience.
* Nurturing in approach and interventions.
* Ability to communicate effectively within a team.
* A background in Education, Care, Social work, Psychology, or Drama, as these are very transferable.
Experience is NOT Essential - Personality Matters More!
You don’t need prior experience in education or working with SEMH & ASD - what we’re really looking for is someone who:
* Has a caring, patient, and understanding nature.
* Is open to learning about SEMH & ASD and how to support students effectively.
* Can build strong relationships and gain students' trust.
* Is adaptable, flexible, and has a good sense of humour.
* Must have Maths & English to the equivalent of C at GCSE.
About the Role:
As an LSA, you will:
* Work 1:2 with two assigned pupils, providing tailored support.
* Assist in small groups of 4-6 students, creating a structured and engaging learning environment.
* Help students with SEMH & ASD navigate both mainstream classrooms and resource hub sessions.
* Work closely with the Teacher in Charge and fellow LSAs to implement individual learning plans.
* Play a key role in fostering a positive, inclusive atmosphere where every student feels valued.
