Job Description
ABC Teachers is seeking an experienced Learning Support Assistant to work in an SEN School in Nuneaton on a full-time basis from September.
About the role:
As a Learning Support Assistant in a specialist SEN school, you will work closely with pupils aged 11–17 with Autism (ASC), many of whom have additional needs including social, emotional and mental health challenges, communication difficulties, and varying levels of cognitive or learning needs.
The role involves providing consistent, personalised support within a structured and nurturing environment, assisting in the delivery of tailored learning activities, promoting emotional regulation, and helping pupils develop their communication and social interaction skills.
Working under the guidance of teaching staff and therapists, you will help create an inclusive and positive learning space where students feel safe, respected, and empowered to thrive.
Building trusting relationships with pupils is at the heart of what they do, aiming to reduce barriers to learning, support independence, and celebrate every achievement—no matter how big or small.
Every day brings new challenges and rewards, and you will be part of a team that is making a real difference in the lives of young people with Autism.
About the school:
The school is a secondary specialist school for young people aged 11 to 17, dedicated to supporting students with Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC). Many pupils have additional needs, including challenges related to social, emotional and mental health (SEMH), communication, cognition, and learning.
Staff are committed to delivering highly meaningful and impactful work every day. They provide specialised care, tailored support, and a nurturing environment to help each young person reach their full potential.
The approach is holistic, combining high-quality education with therapeutic interventions to support the overall development and well-being of pupils and they understand that every child is unique, and they work collaboratively to create personalised learning pathways that reflect each student's strengths and needs.
With small class sizes and a focus on creating a calm, structured environment, the aim is to reduce stress and improve engagement. This supportive setting enables students to build confidence, make progress at their own pace, and thrive both academically and personally.
About you:
We are looking for candidates who have: -
Understanding of Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC) and other associated needs (e.g. social, emotional and mental health needs, communication difficulties, or learning disabilities).
Patience, empathy, and resilience – able to remain calm and supportive, even in challenging situations.
Excellent communication skills – both verbal and non-verbal, and able to adapt to different communication needs.
Ability to build positive, trusting relationships with pupils, staff, and families.
Team player – able to work collaboratively with teachers, therapists, and other support staff.
Basic literacy and numeracy skills – typically equivalent to GCSE grade C/4 or above in English and Maths.
Can provide appropriate references and pass a DBS check.
ABC Teachers is committed to safeguarding children, young people, and vulnerable adults. We take our responsibilities extremely seriously. All staff we register will undertake thorough interviewing and referencing checks and hold, or be prepared to undergo, an Enhanced DBS check that must be registered on the Update Service.
