Learning Support Assistant

Learning Support Assistant (1:1 Support) – Winchester

Are you passionate about making a genuine difference to children’s lives? We are seeking dedicated and nurturing Learning Support Assistants to join our team in Winchester, supporting pupils on a 1:1 basis with Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCPs).

We have both part-time and full-time opportunities available, offering flexibility alongside the chance to build meaningful, consistent relationships with the children you support.

The Role

As a Learning Support Assistant, you will:

• Work closely with individual pupils to support their academic, social and emotional development

• Implement tailored strategies outlined in EHCPs

• Foster independence, resilience and confidence

• Collaborate with teachers, SENCOs and external professionals

• Adapt learning materials to meet specific needs

• Create a safe, positive and engaging learning environment

Each day will be different. You may be supporting a child to access classroom learning, developing communication skills, encouraging positive behaviour strategies, or celebrating small but significant achievements that make a lasting impact.

Who We’re Looking For

We welcome applicants who:

• Have experience working with children or young people (in schools or similar settings)

• Demonstrate patience, empathy and strong communication skills

• Are calm, consistent and proactive in their approach

• Understand or are willing to learn about SEND and EHCP frameworks

• Are committed to safeguarding and promoting pupil wellbeing

A background in education, care, psychology, youth work or support roles would be advantageous, but most important is your commitment to supporting individual needs with professionalism and warmth.

Why Join Us?

• The opportunity to make a direct and meaningful difference every day

• Supportive leadership and collaborative school environments

• Ongoing professional development and training opportunities

• Flexible part-time and full-time positions to suit your circumstances

• A rewarding role where progress is personal and visible

If you are motivated by seeing children succeed in their own unique way and value working as part of a supportive educational community, we would love to hear from you.
