Learning Support Assistant

The Post

We are looking to appoint an enthusiastic Learning Support Assistant on a fixed term  basis starting in January 2024. The role is to provide 1:1 support for a pupil in Year 1.

The primary duty of a Learning Support Assistant is to make education inclusive to students with underlying specific learning needs, and duties and may vary widely depending on those and departmental needs.

Experience working with KS1 school pupils as a teaching assistant and/or with pupils with identified SEND in a similar capacity would be desirable.
