Join a school where every young person is understood, valued and encouraged to thrive.

SGS Pegasus School is an innovative specialist school for children and young people with autism aged 4 - 19. We understand that every child is unique. Through personalised support and specialist teaching, we help young people build confidence, independence and a love of learning.

We are looking for a compassionate, proactive and enthusiastic Learning Support Assistant to join our team and make a genuine difference to the lives of our students every day.

This is far more than a classroom support role. Its an opportunity to build meaningful relationships, celebrate small wins that become big breakthroughs, and help young people feel safe, successful and understood.

As a Learning Support Assistant your role will involve you assisting with general support throughout the school. You will be taking on 1:1 sessions and small groups, as well as supporting whole classes. In general, you will be supporting SEND pupils through the academic, social and emotional elements of school life. You will be expected to promote and secure high standards of teaching and learning, whilst supporting pupil achievement and progression.

You will need to actively contribute to SGS Pegasus School vision, aims and objectives.

This is a role which involves working very closely with Special Educational Needs students, individually and in groups, to enable them to take the fullest advantage of all that takes place at Pegasus School. You will take a proactive role in ensuring that students have full access to the curriculum, working closely with teachers and other supporting professionals to identify and meet student needs.

You will be somebody who is able to build positive relationships with young people so that alongside their academic development, they are well-prepared for life beyond Pegasus School. You will help our students to work well as part of a team, with mutual respect; to understand their own rights and work for the rights of others, and to build the skills necessary for independent study.

You should be prepared and have some knowledge of working with children from all age ranges from 4-19. All LSAs at Pegasus may be asked to support with intimate care.
