Learning Support Assistant – Witham Area
Pay: £89 – £95 per day (PAYE, no umbrella fees)
Do you love the idea of making a real difference in a child’s school day?
We’re looking for a caring and committed Learning Support Assistant (LSA) to provide 1:1 support for a child with special educational needs (SEN) in a welcoming primary school in Witham. This is a full-time role with the potential to become permanent for the right person.
If you’re ready to support a young learner’s journey - both academically and emotionally - this could be your perfect next step!
What’s the role all about?
You’ll work closely with a child who needs extra support to thrive in the classroom. Alongside the class teacher and SENCo, you’ll help create a calm, inclusive learning space where the child can grow in confidence and make progress.
Your day-to-day will include:
1. Supporting the child during lessons to help them stay focused and engaged
2. Encouraging their social and emotional development
3. Helping adapt resources and activities to suit their learning needs
4. Promoting independence and communication skills
5. Working closely with teachers, parents, and other staff to ensure the best possible support
6. Keeping track of progress and sharing feedback with the wider team
What we’re looking for:
7. Experience with SEN is a bonus, but not essential
8. A patient, positive and approachable personality
9. Confidence working 1:1 and as part of a team
10. Good communication skills
11. A flexible, can-do attitude and a great sense of humour!
12. Level 2/3 TA qualification is helpful—but not a deal-breaker
