Ready to make a real difference where it matters most?

We’re looking for a committed and resilient Learning Support Assistant to join our dynamic secondary school, working within our Inclusion Unit to support students who need a more personalised approach to learning.

This isn’t your typical classroom role. You’ll be at the heart of our pastoral and behavioural support provision—building strong relationships, breaking down barriers, and helping students re-engage with education.

What you’ll be doing:

• Supporting students with social, emotional, and behavioural needs
• Delivering targeted interventions in small groups and 1:1
• Working closely with teaching staff and pastoral teams
• Promoting positive behaviour and emotional regulation
• Helping students transition successfully back into mainstream lessons

What we’re looking for:

• Calm, confident, and consistent approach
• Strong interpersonal skills and a genuine passion for supporting young people
• Experience working with challenging behaviour (school-based or similar settings)
• Resilience, patience, and a good sense of humour

If you’re someone who believes every student deserves a chance to succeed and you’re not afraid to roll up your sleeves to make that happen, we’d love to hear from you.
