Learning Support Assistant

This term-time learning support assistant post at Turves Green Boys' School covers 37 hours a week, Monday to Friday. The role is to help pupils access learning, carrying out care and support programmes under the direction of teachers and leaders, and helping teachers manage behaviour and the classroom. It centres on working with pupils with special educational needs, so rapport and communication matter as much as academic background.

Visa sponsorship is not available and the post starts as soon as possible.
