Christ Church St Peters CofE Primary School
Learning Support Assistant within ‘The Nest’
Part Time, Permanent 32.5 Hours per week, 39 weeks per year
An exciting opportunity for a Learning Support Assistant has become available within ‘The Nest’ at Christ Church St Peters CofE Primary School. The Nest is a specialist provision for those young people with an Educational Health Care Plan for Social, Emotional and Mental Health needs (SEMH).
The post will provide support for teaching and learning and will include working both in classes and with small groups or individual pupils. The role includes supporting and developing pupils’ social and emotional needs. You may also deliver individualised programmes of support to children to develop their emotional literacy and self-regulation.
We warmly invite applications from people who strongly believe that they would like to make a difference to young people. We welcome applications from people who feel they can attune to young people and those that have an understanding of some of the many things that may present as a barrier for a young person to access education. It would also be really helpful if you have some (only needs to be a little) understanding of what learning in a mainstream classroom looks like.
In return we can offer:
* • A nurturing environment with enthusiastic and amazing young people
* • A team of friendly, highly skilled and supportive staff colleagues
* • Excellent professional development and networking opportunities
* • The chance to be part of a forward thinking, innovative school
* • An ambitious Trust which is growing
Further information about the role and its responsibilities is provided in the enclosed job description. We encourage visits to the school, and we would be delighted to welcome you for a visit to ‘The Nest’.
Close Date: Friday 29th August 2025 at 9:00am.
We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. As part of the Trust’s shortlisting process, all shortlisted candidates will be subject to an online search as part of our due diligence. Appointment to this post will also be subject to satisfactory pre-employment checks.
