Learning Support Assistant

Not every LSA role is in a classroom with children. This one is about helping young adults build the life they want. Principal Education is recruiting a Level 3 SEN LSA for a specialist Post 19 provision in Wandsworth, run by a respected autism charity. The provision supports adults aged 19 to 25 with autism and related communication needs, and every learner has an EHCP. Teaching here is underpinned by ABA, and learners spend around half their week out in the community, building the communication, independence and work skills they'll carry for life. If you've supported autistic adults in care, worked with teenagers in a special school, or want to learn ABA from people who do it properly, this is a role that will genuinely change how you work.
