Learning Support Assistant

Our Learning Support Assistants play a vital role in assisting students with differing needs and abilities to maximise their potential and achievement. This role would suit someone, with or without existing experience, with a desire to make a difference to the life chances of students. In addition, if you are a graduate and considering teaching, this would be an excellent start to your career. If teaching is your goal we can offer hands on experience and excellent CPD streams, students keen to learn and a supportive team of colleagues. A positive and flexible approach is essential. Other qualities required include patience, excellent communication and motivational skills, and being able to work collaboratively as part of a supportive team building good relationships with colleagues and students. Experience of supporting students or relevant qualifications are advantageous although full training will be offered to the right candidate. A desire to actively contribute to the learning, personal and social needs of students, while encouraging independence is required. Key duties will include assisting and advancing learning of identified students in a range of settings including working 1:1 and supporting within class.

If you have a strong desire to help students of all abilities achieve the best they can, whilst fulfilling your own potential, then we would love to hear from you. You would be joining a supportive, committed and experienced team who work hard to ensure the best outcome for our students.
