Learning Support Partner – Specialist SEND Provision
Teaching Personnel are working with a welcoming and well-established SEND school that supports pupils with Severe Learning Difficulties (SLD) and additional complex needs. We are seeking a dedicated Learning Support Partner to join their team and provide meaningful, day-to-day support for pupils who benefit from a personalised and nurturing approach.
This role is ideal for someone who is patient, observant, and committed to helping young people access learning at a pace and style suited to them.
-----------------------------------
The Role
As a Learning Support Partner, you will work closely with pupils who require additional support to engage with learning, communicate their needs, and feel secure in their environment. Your responsibilities will include:
* Providing targeted 1:1 support for pupils with SLD and communication needs
* Assisting with behaviour regulation, emotional support, and routine transitions
* Encouraging pupils to build independence, social skills, and self-confidence
* Supporting sensory-based activities, structured lessons, and therapeutic input
* Collaborating with teachers, therapists, and support staff to deliver consistent strategies
* Creating a calm, predictable, and encouraging environment throughout the school day
-----------------------------------
What We Are Looking For
* A confident, caring individual who builds rapport easily
* Someone who remains calm in challenging situations
* A reflective practitioner willing to adapt and learn
* A positive and reliable team player
* Someone who values inclusion and wants to make a difference
Previous SEND experience is helpful but not essential. The school provides strong guidance and ongoing professional development.
-----------------------------------
What You’ll Gain
* Ongoing CPD in SEND, communication methods, and behaviour support
* A supportive school culture focused on wellbeing
* The chance to work alongside experienced teachers and therapists
* A rewarding role where progress, no matter how small, is genuinely celebrated
