Learning Support Assistant job summary
The Market Bosworth School is seeking to appoint a Learning Support Assistant to join our outstanding team.
The Market Bosworth School is an inclusive 11-16 school, and believes strongly in the principle of inclusion for all students, regardless of Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND). Providing equal opportunities for all, regardless of specific need or disability, enables us, as a school, to ensure the best possible success and achievements for our young learners. In their most recent visit, Ofsted inspectors commented on the ‘sense of care and nurture [that] permeates the school’. The role of the Learning Support Assistant is crucial to achieving this goal, supporting our young people across the school to flourish within a mainstream educational setting.
Whilst some relevant experience may be an advantage, the ability to work as part of a wider team and learn new skills is crucial. The successful candidate will be motivated, enthusiastic and be able to work with students within a mainstream classroom, as directed by the SENDCo or a member of the teaching staff. They will be flexible in their approach, enabling them to effectively support students with a wide range of needs across a variety of subjects, with strong communication skills which will allow them to discuss and differentiate tasks accordingly. As well as classroom support, duties will include running specific programmes and activities to assist the pupils’ individual learning and social needs, in liaison with the class teachers and the SENDCo and student mentoring to ensure the personal growth and development of our students with SEND.
Commitment to safeguarding
We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people. The recruitment process is robust in seeking to establish the commitment of candidates to support the school’s measures to safeguard children and to identify, deter or reject people who might pose a risk of harm to children or are otherwise unsuited to work with them. An enhanced DBS with a Barred list check is essential. It is an offence to apply for the role if the applicant is barred from engaging in regulated activity relevant to children (KCSIE 2023).
