Learning Support Assistant

Are you a passionate Learning Support Assistant (LSA), Teaching Assistant (TA) or SEN Teaching Assistant looking for your next opportunity in education?

We are working with a range of excellent mainstream schools, SEND schools, specialist provisions and alternative settings across London who are looking for dedicated and enthusiastic support staff to join their teams from September.

Whether you are an experienced LSA or looking to take your first steps into education, we have opportunities to suit a range of experience levels.

As a Learning Support Assistant, you will play an important role in supporting pupils to overcome barriers to learning and achieve their potential.

Depending on the setting, you could be supporting pupils with:

* Autism / ASD

* ADHD

* SEMH and behavioural needs

* Speech and language difficulties

* Complex learning needs

* Moderate or severe learning difficulties

* Physical and sensory needs

* EHCPs and additional learning needs

You may work on a 1:1 basis, within small groups or as part of a classroom support team, helping pupils academically, socially and emotionally.

Key Responsibilities

* Supporting pupils with their learning and development

* Providing 1:1 and small-group support where required

* Supporting children with SEND and additional needs

* Helping pupils access the curriculum through differentiated activities

* Developing positive relationships with pupils

* Supporting behaviour and emotional regulation

* Implementing individual learning plans and EHCP strategies

Experience as any of the following would be highly relevant:

* Learning Support Assistant

* SEN Teaching Assistant

* Teaching Assistant

* Behaviour Mentor

* 1:1 Support Assistant

* LSA

* Higher Level Teaching Assistant

Experience working with autism, ADHD, SEMH, challenging behaviour or complex needs is desirable but not essential.
