The Role

As a Learning Support Assistant, you will play a key role in helping pupils with additional learning needs access the curriculum and reach their potential.

• Promote a calm, consistent, and inclusive approach to student engagement

This is a fantastic opportunity for individuals considering a future career in education, psychology, or youth work, or for those with prior experience in SEN support roles.
