Learning Support Assistant

Are you passionate about supporting children and young people with special educational needs to achieve their very best?

Would you like to be part of a caring, inclusive community where every day brings new opportunities to make a difference?

We provide high-quality education for pupils aged 4–19 with a range of complex learning difficulties, including autism and sensory needs. We are seeking enthusiastic and compassionate Learning Support Assistants to join our dedicated team.

What you’ll do:

• Support pupils’ learning and personal development under the guidance of class teachers and therapists.
• Help deliver tailored learning activities that meet individual Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) targets.
• Foster independence, confidence, and communication skills through patient and creative support.
• Work collaboratively as part of a multidisciplinary team to ensure every child’s needs are met.
• Promote a positive, nurturing, and safe learning environment.

About you:

• You are patient, adaptable, and passionate about inclusive education.
• You have excellent communication and teamwork skills.
• Experience working with children or young people with additional needs is desirable, but not essential if you have supported adults with special educational needs.
• Comfortable with personal care.
• You bring enthusiasm, empathy, and a genuine commitment to supporting every learner.

What we offer:

• A welcoming and supportive team environment.
• Ongoing professional development and training opportunities.
• The chance to make a lasting impact in the lives of children and young people.
• A rewarding role where no two days are ever the same.

If you believe that every child deserves the chance to succeed — and you’re ready to help make that happen — we’d love to hear from you.
