We are looking for an enthusiastic and committed candidate to join our school as Learning Support Assistant, providing in class support to pupils. You will be part of a collaborative and enthusiastic team of support staff, providing exceptional support for learning and teaching at our school in order to provide a world class education for our pupils. You may have experience working with young children, having been an LSA before.

However you may be returning to work after a career break, a career change or someone who has never worked in a school setting but who would like to. We put a lot of store in your rapport with young people as well as your experience. The role will include:

• Providing pupils with support specified by the teacher and SENDCo, and encouraging independence and responsibility for learning and behaviour.
• Helping pupils to build self-esteem through positive interactions, praise and encouragement.
• Assisting with the development and implementation of SEN support plans and personal care programmes.
• Promoting inclusion throughout the school and establishing positive relationships with pupils.
• Providing one-to-one support to pupils as required.

While we ask you to support our Catholic ethos, being a practising Catholic is not a requirement, we welcome applicants from any background.
