Learning Support Assistant – Newcastle Area (Term Time Only)
Working on behalf of Protocol Education
Are you passionate about supporting young learners and helping them reach their full potential? Protocol Education is seeking a dedicated Learning Support Assistant to join a secondary school in the vibrant and diverse Longbenton, Newcastle area.
The school serves a mixed and dynamic catchment area, with students from a variety of socio-economic backgrounds. It is committed to fostering an inclusive environment where every student, regardless of their learning needs, can thrive.
About the Role:
This is a term-time only position, meaning you will work in line with the school calendar, enjoying the school holidays off. As a Learning Support Assistant, you will assist students with additional learning needs, providing one-to-one and small group support in a variety of subjects. You will work closely with teachers to help implement learning strategies and ensure all students can access the curriculum effectively.
Ideal Candidate & Background:
While previous experience in a similar role is preferred, it is not essential. We are looking for individuals who have a genuine passion for supporting students, especially those with additional needs. Experience in roles such as teaching assistant, care work, support work, or in youth services/childcare would be beneficial, but we also welcome applications from people looking to start their career in education. A background in psychology, special educational needs (SEN), or education-related fields is a plus but not required.
What’s most important is your enthusiasm, patience, and empathy. We are looking for someone who is flexible, adaptable, and eager to support young people in reaching their academic and personal goals.
Key Responsibilities:
* Provide one-to-one and small group support to students with additional learning needs.
* Assist in implementing Individual Education Plans (IEPs) and tailored learning strategies.
* Support students with academic, emotional, and behavioural needs.
* Contribute to fostering a positive and inclusive classroom environment.
* Collaborate with teachers to track student progress and provide constructive feedback.
What We’re Looking For:
* Passion for helping students with diverse learning needs.
* Strong communication and interpersonal skills.
* A proactive and adaptable approach to supporting students.
* A desire to work in an inclusive school environment and make a real difference.
This is an exciting opportunity to gain valuable experience in a supportive educational setting. If you're looking for a role where you can truly make an impact on students’ lives, we'd love to hear from you.
How to Apply:
To apply, please submit your CV to Protocol Education. Join us in supporting students across Newcastle to achieve their best!
This is a term-time only position and you will be employed on a PAYE basis, offering a secure and reliable income while you help make a positive impact on the educational experience of students.

We look forward to hearing from you!
