As we approach the end of the academic year, our client schools are starting to advertise for permanent positions to start in the new term.
We work with a number of Pupil Referral Units which cater to students currently excluded from mainstream school. These students often have Social, Emotional and Mental Health needs therefore the curriculum they follow is heavily based around vocational activities such as sports, holistic learning and functional skills.
We are looking to hire Learning Support Assistants to work in these provisions, on a full time basis in the new school year. You can expect heavy behaviour management throughout the school day, however, it's important to inspire and motivate the students to make the correct choices in terms of their education and future.

To be considered to be put forward for September roles you must have;
- Experience of working with SEMH needs
- The ability to inspire and motivate young people
- A proven track record of effective behaviour management skills and developing positive relationships with young people
All successful applicants are subject to background checks. If you'd like to apply, please send your CV today and one of our specialist consultants will be in contact with you!
Teaching Personnel can offer a number of benefits such as:
- Sector specialist consultants in SEN, Primary and Secondary who have backgrounds in education and teaching
- 80% off training courses through our unrivalled CPD Academy
- Exclusive access to our PSA Schools, who use us as their preferred staffing supplier
- Online access to payslips, diary and time sheets
- Weekly wages through PAYE; your quoted earnings will be your exact take home pay and 12.7% holiday pay inclusive in the hourly rate
