Five Education is seeking a dedicated and enthusiastic learning support assistant to work across various primary and secondary specialist schools across South Bristol. This role will involve working closely with students who have additional needs, such as ASC, ADHD, Speech and Language difficulties, or SEMH challenges.
You may sometimes be providing one-to-one support for a specific child and at other times be working more generally across the classroom to help all students access the curriculum. Patience, flexibility, and strong communication skills are key, as is a genuine desire to make a positive impact on children's learning and well-being.
Previous experience working in schools or with children in a care or support capacity is desirable, but not essential. What matters most is your ability to build positive relationships with young learners, your adaptability, and your genuine interest in helping children reach their potential.
Main Responsibilities:
Provide tailored one-to-one or small group support based on individual needs and EHCP targets
Adapt learning materials and teaching methods to meet diverse learning styles and developmental levels
Support students in developing communication, emotional regulation, and independent learning skills
Work closely with teaching staff and the SENDCo to implement effective strategies for engagement and progress
