We are seeking dedicated and compassionate Learning Support Assistants (LSAs) to join a welcoming and inclusive mainstream secondary school in the L25 area of Liverpool. You’ll play a vital role in supporting students with Special Educational Needs (SEN), ensuring they access the curriculum, grow in confidence, and reach their full potential.

The Role:

As a Learning Support Assistant, you’ll work closely with teachers, SENCOs, and other support staff to:

• Adapt learning materials and assist students in understanding and completing tasks.

• Support students both inside and outside the classroom, ensuring inclusion across the school day.
• Build strong, trusting relationships with pupils to help them feel safe, supported, and valued.
• Collaborate with teaching staff and parents to track progress and contribute to personalised learning plans (EHCPs).

• Empathetic, patient, and understanding, with a genuine passion for helping young people.
• Confident working with students who may have barriers to learning.
• Adaptable and proactive, able to think on your feet in a busy classroom environment.
• A good communicator and team player.
• Previous experience in a school or SEN setting is desirable but not essential — the right attitude and commitment are what matter most!
