Some pupils don’t need louder instructions or stricter rules. They need the right adult next to them - someone calm, consistent and able to keep them engaged when learning starts to feel overwhelming.
SEN schools in Borehamwood are looking for Learning Support Assistants who can bring that presence into the classroom.
These schools support pupils with Autism, ADHD and additional learning needs, where structure, patience and routine make a real difference. As a Learning Support Assistant, you will work alongside teachers and SEN staff helping pupils stay focused, confident and involved in lessons.
You may support pupils 1:1 or in small groups, helping them access learning, build communication skills and stay regulated throughout the school day.
What the role involves
• Supporting pupils during lessons and classroom activities
• Providing 1:1 and small group learning support
• Helping pupils stay engaged and focused on tasks
• Encouraging communication, confidence and independence
• Working closely with teachers and SEN teams
This role works particularly well for

• SEN Teaching Assistants
• Support Workers

• Reliability and professionalism
An Enhanced DBS on the Update Service is highly desirable.
Schools are looking to secure the right people through trials and interviews this term, with opportunities to start either after Easter or in September depending on the right fit.
