We are seeking to appoint a Learning Support Assistant to join our committed and supportive team at The Newbridge School. The successful candidate will work closely with teaching staff, pastoral teams, and external professionals to provide targeted support to students, helping them to overcome barriers to learning and achieve their full potential. This role is ideal for someone with a passion for supporting young people, particularly those with additional needs, and who demonstrates patience, empathy, and resilience.

You will play a key role in supporting students both in the classroom and through small‐group or one‐to‐one interventions. This includes promoting positive behaviour, encouraging independence, building confidence, and contributing to personalised support strategies that enable learners to thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.

The Lionheart Educational Trust is a well‐established and successful family of seventeen schools across Leicestershire. We are committed to delivering high‐quality education and inclusive support within each of our schools, ensuring that every student feels safe, supported, and valued. Our schools benefit from strong Trust‐wide support and effective local governance, enabling ongoing development and improvement.

We welcome applications from enthusiastic and dedicated individuals who are committed to supporting students from all backgrounds and abilities, and who are eager to make a positive difference to the lives of young people at The Newbridge School.
** Closing date:
Thursday 20th August 2026 at 1000am
**** Interviews: TBC
** The Trust strives to be a diverse and inclusive place where all staff have a seat at the table: a seat to be free, a seat to inspire, a seat to challenge and a seat to succeed.

We currently have staff networks for staff who are Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME), Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans, Queer + (LGBTQ+), staff who would describe their background as working class and staff with a disability.

The successful candidate will have to meet the requirements of the person specification, job description and will be subject to an enhanced DBS check. The school is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.
