St. Teresa's is a wonderful school where we focus on doing little things with great love. We are looking for a Learning Support Assistant to join our team from September.
We welcome applications from any LSA, Nursery or EYFS practitioner who can bring something special to our team. Whether you have a passion for reading, computing, are a trained ELSA, or have a strong SEMH or pastoral background, we encourage you to apply. Experience across KS2, Nursery, Reception, or KS1, or a passion for SEND, versatility, and working across all phases are valued.

This is a permanent, term-time only role. Core hours are 8:30am to 3:15pm, with opportunities for additional paid hours through breakfast and after-school care (7:30am to 6:00pm). EYFS qualified candidates open to extended hours are especially encouraged to apply.
You might be the person we're looking for if you:
* Have a special quality, skill, qualification, or passion that will enhance our school
* Have a Level 3-6 Early Years qualification or QTS (desirable but not essential)
* Have an inclusive and nurturing approach
* Are adaptable, proactive, warm, positive, and professional
* Embrace the Catholic ethos and want to contribute to a loving, faith-filled environment
We offer:
* A welcoming, values-driven community
* Exemplary pupil behaviour and a culture of respect and high expectations
* A collaborative staff team focused on well-being and professional growth
* Additional earning potential through wraparound care roles
* The opportunity to shape our new nursery provision
* A culture valuing curiosity, creativity, and child-led learning
We serve a diverse community and actively encourage applications from individuals of all backgrounds. We are committed to safeguarding and expect all staff to share this commitment. Appointments are subject to references, medical checks, and DBS clearance.
