Luma Education Recruitment is looking for a passionate and dedicated Outreach Learning Support Assistant to join a specialist education setting in Totnes, Devon.

This is an opportunity to work closely with young people who need additional support with their learning, confidence, communication and independence - helping them get the most out of both education and everyday life.

It is not simply a classroom-based TA role.

You could be supporting learning in the morning, heading out into the community, helping with a shopping trip, taking part in an activity or supporting a young person to develop practical skills and confidence.

For the right person, it is a genuinely varied, active and rewarding role.

As an Outreach Learning Support Assistant, you'll build positive relationships with young people and support them both within education and out in the wider community.

Your day could include

• Supporting young people with learning and educational activities

• Encouraging young people to try new activities and experiences
• Supporting social development and positive relationships
• Helping pupils become more confident accessing their local community
• Working alongside teachers and the wider specialist support team
• Providing consistent, encouraging and person-centred support

You'll be helping young people develop skills that go beyond the classroom - skills they can use in everyday life.

This could suit someone already working in education, but we're also keen to hear from people with relevant experience from care, youth work, residential, community support or similar environments.

You could be a
