Every Child Has Strengths. Sometimes They Just Need Someone to Help Discover Them.

One pupil might struggle with reading but have an incredible imagination.

Another might find it difficult to concentrate in lessons but excel when learning through practical activities.

Some children may lack confidence, struggle to communicate their ideas or become frustrated when they cannot keep up with their classmates.

Every child has something they can succeed at. The challenge is finding the right way to help them get there.

We're recruiting a dedicated and enthusiastic Learning Support Teaching Assistant to join a supportive educational setting in Liverpool, working with pupils who require additional guidance to access learning, develop independence and recognise their own abilities.
