Learning Support Assistant

Learning Support Assistant to support children with SEND in KS1 Sires Hill opened in September 2023 and is a popular, oversubscribed, multicultural primary school on a new housing estate. The school will continue to grow each September as we welcome new reception children. We are looking to recruit a Learning Support Assistant (LSA) who values working with pupils with special educational needs. The post will involve working in Year 1 alongside other Learning Support Assistants who provide support for children with Education, Health and Care plans. The children have a range of communication and language difficulties and social, emotional and mental health challenges. Whenever possible, these children are integrated into the Year 1 classroom as we believe that quality first teaching is important and they need the right staff members to enable them to be successful.

We are looking for staff who:

• Value working with children with special educational needs
• Who enjoy working as part of a team
• Have experience or willingness to train to learn different approaches to help children be successful

*Create a haven in which our children feel especially safe, valued and happy

In return we can offer:

A brand new purpose built primary school with extensive resources. A commitment to high quality professional development. A supportive and encouraging Senior Leadership Team and trust. A commitment to work life balance.
