Learning Support Assistant

Do you enjoy working closely with young people, supporting their progress and celebrating their success? Maritime Academy are expanding their team of Learning Support Assistants at our growing academy as we welcome our next cohort of students this September. The successful candidates will work as directed by the SENCO with individual students and groups of students, supporting with the monitoring of progress for individuals. Due to the nature of the role a patient, caring and compassionate approach is needed. This post is suitable if you are looking to build your experience working with SEND pupils. Our Learning Support Assistant will: • Have experience supporting learning in the classroom (primary or secondary). • Assist in the promotion of high standards of behaviour and conduct. • Be a team player with great communication and organisational skills. • Support colleagues as directed in all aspects of learning, personal development and emotional literacy. Our Learning Support Assistant will also have the ability to work calmly under pressure and to adapt quickly and effectively to changing circumstances. We would love to hear from you if you’re ready to take on a rewarding role in a supportive environment and contribute to the success of our students. This role is initially offered on a Fixed Term basis.
