About the role
We are looking for dedicated and enthusiastic experienced SEND Learning Support Assistants to work in one of our SEND Schools, where the pupils range from 3-19 years.

Candidates who have mainstream experience, have worked as a care/support worker, and have worked with children in a different setting would be suitable, as skills can be transferable.
We are looking for people who are willing and able to turn their hand to a variety of Curriculum areas and activities, someone who can help our pupils engage and enjoy life affirming experiences. Someone who recognises the importance of both high support and high challenge. If you think that’s you, please do get in touch.

Pupils have a range of additional learning needs, this would include ADHD, ASD, PMLD and SEMH. Although, sometimes challenging, you will not find job satisfaction like it anywhere else.
