Learning Support Assistant

Are you an experienced Learning Support Assistant who is passionate about helping children with SEND thrive?

Quantum Scholars is looking for a dedicated and compassionate Learning Support Assistant to provide 1:1 support to a Year 6 pupil in Wokingham who is currently accessing Education Otherwise Than At School (EOTAS) provision.

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who enjoys building genuine relationships with young people and understands that progress isn't always about what happens in a classroom. You'll play an important role in helping a young person feel comfortable, supported and confident in their learning environment.

You will provide individualised 1:1 learning support to a Year 6 pupil with Autism (ASD) and Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA).

The role will involve working from the pupil's home in Wokingham, providing a calm, consistent and supportive environment where the pupil can engage with their education at their own pace.

Hours:

10 hours per week
Start:
September 2026
Days & Times:
Completely flexible

Location:

Wokingham - home-based

Duration:
Full academic year, with potential to extend
Support: 1:1
Year Group:
Year 6

We're looking for someone who is patient, adaptable and genuinely passionate about supporting children with additional needs.

You should have:

• Experience supporting SEND pupils on a 1:1 basis
• A good understanding of Autism and/or PDA
• The ability to build a trusting and positive relationship with a young person
• A calm, patient and nurturing approach
• The ability to adapt your approach to meet individual needs
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills
• A genuine commitment to helping young people make progress and develop their confidence

Previous experience within EOTAS, alternative provision, SEN schools, specialist settings or 1:1 support would be highly desirable.

This isn't simply a classroom support position. You'll have the opportunity to provide consistent, personalised support to one young person, helping them access education in a way that works for them.

The flexibility of the role makes it particularly well suited to an experienced LSA, SEN Teaching Assistant, Learning Mentor or similar professional looking for a part-time opportunity that can fit around their existing commitments.

If you're someone who believes in meeting young people where they are, building trust and helping them achieve their potential, we'd love to hear from you.

If you're an experienced SEND professional based in or around Wokingham and this sounds like the right opportunity for you, apply today!

We'd love to hear about your experience and discuss the role with you.

Salary will be determined by the successful candidate's qualifications and relevant experience, and will be in accordance with the client's pay policy.
