Are you someone who believes words matter? That every student, regardless of ability or background, deserves to be heard, understood, and supported with clarity and care?
We’re looking for a confident communicator with exceptional spoken and written English to join our dynamic secondary school as a Learning Support Assistant. This is more than just classroom support – it’s about championing student voice, helping them access the curriculum, and giving them the tools to succeed.
What makes this role different?
You’ll be working one-to-one and in small groups, supporting students who need a boost in confidence, communication, and literacy.
You'll help bridge the gap between subject content and understanding – your clear communication will be their pathway to progress.
You’ll support students emotionally and academically, becoming a key point of trust and encouragement.
No two days will be the same – expect variety, challenge, and moments of real impact.
What We’re Looking For:
Excellent spoken and written English – grammar, clarity and tone matter here.
A calm, professional and patient presence in the classroom.
Ability to build relationships with students, staff and families.
A proactive attitude – someone who spots needs and takes initiative.
Prior experience in education or youth work is a bonus, but not essential – training will be provided.
In Return, We Offer:
A welcoming and supportive team where your voice matters.
Real opportunities for progression – many of our LSAs go on to teacher training or pastoral roles.
Access to high-quality CPD and mentoring.
A school that genuinely values inclusion, communication, and creativity.
