A wonderful SEN school in Gateshead is looking for a 1:1 Learning Support Assistant who can bring calm, patience and a steady presence to the school day. If supporting children who need consistency, kindness and encouragement sounds like your kind of work, you’ll fit in beautifully here.
What the role involves
You’ll be working closely with one pupil who needs personalised support, helping them feel settled, confident and ready to learn. Every child learns differently, so your day will be a mix of structure, creativity and lots of positive reinforcement.
You’ll be supporting with:
* Emotional regulation and confidence building
* Communication and sensory needs
* Following structured routines that help the pupil thrive
* 1:1 support across lessons and activities
* Working closely with teachers, SENCO and therapy staff
Who we’re looking for
Someone who is:
* Warm, patient and great at building trust
* Confident working with children with additional needs
* Observant, calm and able to adapt as the day unfolds
* A strong team player with good communication skills
Experience in SEND is ideal, but if you’ve worked in care, youth work, early years or similar roles, your skills will transfer well.
Why join Protocol Education?
You’ll receive:
* Weekly PAYE pay, no umbrella companies
* FREE access to our CPD Academy, including Thrive training
* Friendly, ongoing support from a local consultant
* Opportunities across SEN, mainstream and alternative settings
* A simple, supportive and human registration process
Fancy making a real difference to a child who needs someone just like you?
