Learning Support Assistant job summary

More than ever before, young people need support with their learning and development. We are seeking to recruit a Learning Support Assistant / Lesson Supervisor to provide this support to individuals and/or groups of pupils who are most in need. We are looking for an enthusiastic and imaginative individual to join a friendly and committed Learning Support faculty. We hope that you will share our vision for all members of our community to be able to ‘achieve their potential and enjoy the journey’.

Duties cover a range of activities including providing one-to-one withdrawal, small group interventions, in-class support for teaching staff and pupils and participating in the invigilation of public and internal examinations for pupils requiring access arrangements. Our LSAs also supervise classes during the temporary absence of teachers. The ability to support pupils in the early stages of English language learning and/or to provide medical/first aid support would be appreciated as would any experience of working with children with SEN and/or medical conditions. However, these are not essential and most importantly we are looking for applicants with a genuine desire to help young people.

Visitors tell us that our school is a friendly, lively and stimulating community where we emphasise the importance of the individual’s contribution and take pleasure in sharing and celebrating achievement. They commend the good behaviour of the pupils and their thirst for knowledge. Bishop’s is a diverse community that offers mutual support and encouragement and expects everyone within it to respect others’ heritage, identity, religion and beliefs. We hope that the values, self-discipline and sense of personal worth that pupils gain here will be a support throughout their lives as British and Global Citizens. We particularly welcome applications from BAME candidates or from other groups that are underrepresented in the UK education system. We are a single sex school but we encourage any gender to apply for staff posts.

Bishop’s Hatfield Girls’ School has around 950 pupils on roll including the Sixth Form. We are fully committed to our values of teamwork, respect, honesty, trust, kindness and ambition. The school successfully completed its most recent OFSTED inspection in December 2022 and was judged to continue to be Outstanding. However, we are not driven by Ofsted and our priorities lie in supporting our pupils to develop their knowledge, skills and character through the ‘Bishop’s 360’ model. The school has benefited from a total rebuild on the same site and enjoys excellent state of the art facilities. BHGS holds International School Status and is a Fairtrade School. Hatfield is within easy reach of London and other areas and the London Fringe Allowance is payable.

The school's Admissions’ Code gives priority places to children of staff. We give high priority to staff development and staff are able to apply for our Professional Development Award which provides bursary payments to help finance CPD that goes beyond the school’s usual training programme.

We take safeguarding of our students extremely seriously and an enhanced disclosure will be sought through the Disclosure and Barring Service as part of the school’s pre-employment checks.
