Are you passionate about helping young people overcome barriers to learning?

Do you want to make a daily difference in the lives of pupils who need it most? If you are empathetic, resilient, and ready for a rewarding challenge, we want to hear from you!

About the Role

We are seeking a Learning Support Classroom Lead to join our dedicated and dynamic Learning Support Department. This role is ideal for someone who is committed to inclusion and passionate about supporting pupils with bespoke curriculums, behavioural needs, and emotional challenges.

You will:

• Support pupils who are out of the classroom for a variety of reasons.
• Help pupils understand and manage their behaviour through self-regulation strategies.
• Work closely with the SENCO and wider SEN team to implement Behaviour Support Plans.
• Provide pastoral and emotional support, helping pupils build resilience and self-esteem.
• Collaborate with parents, staff, and external agencies to ensure holistic support.
• Monitor and evaluate pupil progress, providing feedback and maintaining accurate records.

Key Responsibilities

• Support pupils with behavioural, emotional, and attendance issues.
• Supervise and guide pupils not following a standard timetable.
• Assist in assessing pupils’ needs and developing tailored support strategies.
• Promote reintegration of pupils who have been absent or excluded.
• Act as a positive role model and mentor.
• Encourage pupils to take ownership of their learning and behaviour.

What We’re Looking For

We’re looking for someone who:

• Believes all children can achieve.
• Has empathy, resilience, and a proactive attitude.
• Understands the barriers to learning and how to overcome them.
• Demonstrates excellent communication and organisational skills.
• Is committed to teamwork and professional development.
• Holds GCSEs (Grade C/4 or above) in English and Maths.

Previous experience in a Learning Support or SEN role is desirable but not essential—full training will be provided for the right candidate.
