Learning Support Assistant

• Teaching Personnel are looking to appoint an experienced Learning Support Assistant to work 1:1 with a capable primary pupil who requires support with memory and processing difficulties. This role is based in a welcoming primary school in Washington and runs Monday to Friday, 8:30am–3:30pm, term‑time only.

  The position is due to start once EHCP funding is approved, and as this is an agency role, the school may end the placement at any time depending on need. However, for the right candidate, this is expected to be a long‑term role with the potential to become permanent.
  You will support the pupil throughout the school day, providing structure, repetition and tailored strategies to help them remain confident, organised and engaged in learning.
