Learning Assistant job summary

At Ash Hill Primary School, we believe that every child deserves to feel a deep sense of belonging, joy in their learning and the opportunity to become the very best they can be.

We are looking for a caring, committed and proactive Learning Assistant to join our team, supporting children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) across Key stage 1 and 2.

This role is perfect for someone who wants to make a real difference in the lives of children who need extra care, understanding and encouragement to thrive.

What makes our school special

• A strong moral purpose: We are proud to be the first school in Buckinghamshire to achieve the Bronze Attachment Aware and Trauma Informed Award, reflecting our deep commitment to inclusion and emotional wellbeing.
• A nurturing, ambitious environment: You’ll be part of a team that sees potential, not problems — helping children develop confidence, resilience and joy in learning.
• A supportive team culture: We work closely together, valuing everyone’s role in helping our pupils succeed. You’ll never be on your own — collaboration and kindness underpin everything we do.
• Professional development that values you: We invest in our staff through bespoke coaching and high-quality CPD, recognising the vital role learning assistants play in pupils’ success.
• A workload-conscious, forward-thinking school: We use streamlined systems, high-quality curriculum resources and research-based practice to help staff focus on what really matters — relationships and impact.

If you’re someone who thrives on challenge, believes in the power of education to change lives, and wants to be part of a fast-paced, innovative and compassionate school community, we would love to hear from you.

Come and help our children build the confidence, curiosity and courage to shine.
