Learning Support Assistant job summary
We are looking for a dynamic Learning Support Assistant to join our increasing Grow and Thrive team. The successful candidate will be passionate about working with young people, and preferably have a knowledge of the local area or similar area.
We offer exceptional training and development opportunities. We will offer extensive support and guidance to help you achieve your aspirations while you help the children achieve theirs. You may work across the school, or specialise within an identified subject area where you will be supporting and learning from others. The ability to specialise in literacy would be welcome, but not necessary.
You may want to become an experienced LSA, or perhaps you want to become a teacher, an educational psychologist, an expert in speech and language or EAL, or another education-based career and are looking for that special school to gain some experience in an education setting. We have a track record of developing people in the direction they want to go, whether it is remaining within our Grow and Thrive team, growing within the Saracens family, or moving elsewhere.
Saracens High School has a family ethos and is committed to supporting staff in this rewarding job, while recognising the stress it puts upon us. With generous loadings, the opportunity for colleagues to take family days, and access to a staff counsellor, we do all we can to look after our staff.
With strong ties to the wider Saracens organisation, we base all we do on the values Discipline, Hard Work, Honesty, and Humility. Our approach to education focuses on character development and making memories, as much as outstanding academic attainment. Our aim is to develop aspirational life-long learners, who will thrive in their chosen career path, embracing our values, and demonstrating a strong moral purpose and a desire to make a positive contribution to society and their local community.
