Learning Support Assistant - SEN School in Hackney
Full-Time | Term-Time | September 2025 Start
We're working with a well-regarded SEN school in Hackney that supports children and young people with autism, communication needs, and learning differences. They're growing, and they're looking for new Learning Support Assistants to join their team from September.
This is not a ticking-boxes kind of job. This is real, hands-on work supporting students who rely on structure, trust, and patience to access their education. Some are non-verbal. Some can be anxious or dysregulated. Many just need the right person beside them to help them feel safe and understood at school.
If you're calm, reliable, and genuinely want to support young people who learn differently this could be a great fit.
What the role involves:
Supporting students one-to-one or in small groups, both in class and during quieter parts of the day
Helping learners with autism feel settled, included, and able to engage with lessons
Using visuals, routines, and personalised approaches to help students follow their learning
Working closely with teachers and therapists to keep students regulated and on track
Being part of a consistent team that sees behaviour as communication, not just disruption
Occasionally supporting with personal care or managing more complex behaviour (training provided)What we're looking for:
Experience working with children or young people with additional needs in schools or elsewhere
A calm, grounded personality that can hold boundaries and build trust
People who are dependable, observant, and don't shy away from difficult moments
Someone open to learning new strategies and being part of a supportive, reflective team
An Enhanced DBS on the update service, or willing to apply for one through usWhat the school offers:
A respectful, well-organised environment with a strong focus on emotional wellbeing
In-house training, including autism-specific strategies and behaviour support approaches
A staff team that works together not in silos
