Classroom Assistance: Support the class teacher in delivering engaging, accessible lessons and maintaining a positive learning environment.

Adapted Learning Resources: Help modify activities and resources to ensure they meet the individual needs of learners.

Behaviour & Emotional Support: Encourage positive behaviour, offering calm and consistent support to students who may face emotional or behavioural challenges.

Monitoring Progress: Track and record student progress, providing valuable feedback to teaching staff to inform future learning plans.

Safeguarding: Promote student wellbeing and uphold the school's safeguarding standards at all times.

What We're Looking For:

Essential:

Experience working with children or young people (school, youth work, tutoring, or similar).

A patient, caring and empathetic approach to supporting student needs.

A clear DBS check (or willingness to obtain one).

Desirable:

Experience supporting SEND or additional learning needs.

Relevant qualifications such as Level 2/3 in Supporting Teaching & Learning, or similar.

Why This Learning Support Assistant Role Is a Great Opportunity:

Supportive School Community: Work within a warm, inclusive environment where LSAs are valued and supported.

Professional Development: Gain access to ongoing training that will help you develop your skills in SEND, behaviour management and learning support.
