About the Role

At our school, we see potential in every young person and believe the right support can help them achieve amazing things. As a Learning Support Assistant (LSA), you'll play a key role in helping students overcome barriers, grow in confidence and reach their full potential.

This is far more than a classroom support role. You'll be a trusted mentor, positive role model and consistent source of encouragement, building meaningful relationships that help students feel safe, valued and understood. Every day brings new opportunities to make a difference, whether that's celebrating a breakthrough moment, helping a student develop a new skill, or supporting them to achieve goals they never thought possible.

Working alongside dedicated teachers, therapists and specialist staff, you'll help create a nurturing, inclusive and inspiring environment where every student can thrive. If you're passionate about making a genuine impact and want to be part of a team that changes lives, this could be the perfect role for you.

What you will be doing

• Support students in the classroom, individually and in small groups, helping them access learning and achieve their goals.
• Build positive, trusting relationships that promote confidence, independence and emotional wellbeing.
• Encourage positive behaviour and help create a calm, inclusive learning environment.
• Work closely with teachers and the wider multidisciplinary team to deliver personalised support.
• Monitor and celebrate student progress, recognising every success along the way.
• Assist with classroom preparation and contribute to engaging learning experiences.
• Help ensure the safety, wellbeing and safeguarding of all students at all times

What you will bring

• GCSE C/4 in math's and English required.
• Is passionate about supporting children and young people to achieve their potential.
• Is patient, resilient and able to remain calm in challenging situations.
• Can build positive relationships with students, families and colleagues.
• Brings enthusiasm, compassion and a proactive approach to every day.
• Previous experience in education or an SEN setting is desirable but not essential—we value the right attitude and a genuine commitment to making a difference.
