What skills and experience we're looking for
Are you someone who lights up a room, builds good professional relationship with young people, and believes every student deserves to feel valued and capable, no matter their context? If so, you could be exactly who we’re looking for.
We want a Learning Support Assistant who is:
- Warm, engaging and positive – someone who students feel safe working with.
- Organised and proactive, with a natural ability to keep things running smoothly.
- A great communicator, confident talking with children, staff, parents and professionals.
- A team player with the initiative to work independently when needed.
- Passionate about inclusion, with the resilience to support learners who need extra help.
- Eager to grow – you don’t need every qualification, just the mindset to develop.
