Are you a graduate considering a career in teaching and looking for some experience of working within a school first? Or, not looking to get into teaching, but would like to work with our students as a Learning Support Assistant, then we would like to hear from you.

We are looking to expand our team of Learning Support Assistants to meet the current needs of our students on the SEN register. The successful candidate should have good communication skills, patience, a flexible approach, as well as the ability to work within a team. Above all, it is essential that you will be committed to supporting students with Special Educational Needs. You will need to have a good general education with sound literacy, numeracy and IT skills to be able to provide support to students across all subjects. Knowledge and experience of working with students who display challenging behaviour is desirable.

The successful candidate would be involved with supporting students in lessons and helping with exams, but there is potential for planning and running 1:1 or small group interventions. Knowledge or experience of working with children who have learning difficulties is desirable, however this is not essential as training in these areas can be provided.

If you are a graduate considering a career in teaching, we have a depth of experience in working with both PGCE and SCITT. Informal enquiries are welcome please contact Natalie Webb, SENCo on [email removed]

The College is committed to safeguarding children and promoting the welfare of young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.
