We are a welcoming and highly regarded SEN school located near Royal Tunbridge Wells, seeking a dedicated and compassionate Learning Support Assistant to join our team immediately.

This is a fantastic opportunity to work in a supportive, well-resourced environment where every child is encouraged to thrive.

About the Role

As a Learning Support Assistant, you will:

• Provide 1:1 and small group support to pupils with a range of SEN needs (including ASD, ADHD, speech & language needs, and SEMH).
• Support students both in and out of the classroom to help them access learning.
• Work closely with teachers, therapists, and pastoral staff to implement personalised learning plans.
• Promote positive behaviour, independence, and emotional wellbeing.
• Help create a safe, nurturing, and engaging learning environment.

• Is patient, resilient, and empathetic.
• Can build positive, professional relationships with students and staff.
• Is proactive, flexible, and a strong team player.
• Holds a relevant qualification (desirable but not essential - training can be provided).

What We Offer

• A supportive and friendly staff team.
• Ongoing CPD and SEN-specific training.
• Opportunities for career progression.
• A rewarding role where no two days are the same.
• Competitive salary based on experience.

If you are enthusiastic about supporting young people to achieve their full potential and want to be part of a school that truly values inclusion and care, we would love to hear from you.

Apply today for an immediate start.
