In addition, some of our students have profound and multiple learning difficulties, sensory impairments and/or communication difficulties. In preparation for September 2026, we are pleased to announce that we have exciting opportunities to appoint Learning Support Assistants (LSAs) to complement our outstanding team. The role of an LSA is varied and consists of supporting teaching activities and assisting with the changing and personal care requirements of some of our students. Learning in the community plays a significant part of our curriculum, successful applicants will be expected to support students with their offsite learning as required. The work of an LSA often involves the manual handling of students. Applicants therefore need to be physically fit and capable of working co-operatively within a multi-disciplinary team. It is essential that applicants are ambitious for our students, have the ability to empathise, can work positively with individuals’ needs and are adaptable with a good sense of humour. Previous experience of working with adults with a physical disability would be an advantage but it is not essential as a bespoke, robust training package will be provided. It is essential that you are willing to be trained to administer medication if necessary. If you’re energised at the prospect of making a real difference to the lives of young people with disabilities, we’d love to hear from you!
