SEND Learning Support Assistant

What skills and experience we're looking for

We have partnered with the Local Authority and opened a brand new specialist base. We need three exceptional founding Learning Support Assistants to help turn our vision into a reality for our EYFS and Year 1 learners.

Our dedicated provision is for children with ASC and complex communication and interaction difficulties. It isn’t just a classroom; it’s a bespoke environment designed to bridge the gap for our youngest learners. As part of our founding team of four LSAs, you will work hand-in-hand with our new Specialist Base Teacher to shape the daily practice, the sensory space, and the inclusive culture of this brand-new hub.

You will provide vital, specialized day to day support for the children within our new provision, ensuring their safety, well-being, and academic progress.
