Learning Support Assistant

Are you looking to support children with special needs in main stream school settings?

About the schools

Our client schools are main stream primary schools that offer access to education for students aged 3 to 11 who have difficulty learning as a result of Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC) and Aspergers Syndrome.

These schools help develop young people's emotional well-being and social skills. The aim is to develop students to be effective learners so they are able to cope better with the things they find challenging.

Ideal Candidate:

Worried you have little experience in supporting students in an education setting - do not panic! Some of the best candidates for this role have little experience in a school but they have experience working with individuals who have Special Needs and their outgoing personality has enabled them to fully flourish within this role and the transferable skills they have from previous roles are key to them working in this environment! If you do not already have experience working in a setting such as this then any personal or professional experience with autism is welcomed!

If you live in (or can travel to) Essex, are proactive, empathetic, engaging and creative then this could be the perfect next role for you! Should you require any additional information regarding ASC or indeed to apply for the position, please contact Chantal Xerri or apply via the links provided.
