This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who enjoys working with young people and wants to make a genuine difference to students' confidence, wellbeing and progress in school. If you have experience working with young people, or working as a Teaching Assistant / Learning Support Assistant in schools already, fantastic - we can put yopu into a role that is rioght for you straigjt away! Or you can begin to explore opportunities. However, if you have no experience and are looking to get a foot in the door, we can train you, build your experience and CV through ad hoc work, and find you a permanent placement after you are fully confident.
About the Role
As a Teaching Assistant / Learning Support Assistant, you'll work closely with teachers, pastoral staff and the wider inclusion team to help students engage with learning and feel successful in school.
Some students may require support within lessons, while others may benefit from small-group interventions or individual mentoring sessions focused on confidence, emotional wellbeing and personal development.
No two days are quite the same, but every day offers the opportunity to have a positive impact.
