As Learning Support Assistant at Impact Independent school, you’ll have a key role to play in the development of our pupils. We want all our young people to have the best chance of success in life, and the right support in the classroom can really make an enormous difference. The young people in our schools have social, emotional, mental health needs that call for extra dedication.  As a Learning Support Assistant, you have to be understanding and committed.

The role

As a Learning Support Assistant, you’ll be working directly with the young people in the classroom every day.  You’ll help them learn, monitor their work and help raise their self-esteem.  The role will include some 1-1 working and working with small groups to meet the specific needs of the pupils with ECHP under the direction of the Teacher /SENCo

As your skills are well developed, you will have additional duties, such as working without supervision on occasion and liaising with teachers to devise complementary learning activities. Above all, you’ll need to be resilient and dedicated to the wellbeing of our young people.

There will be a weekly meeting at the end of the school day, which your attendance will be required. There will also be some break and lunchtime cover required.

Your profile

With your previous experience in a Learning Support Assistant role and your Level 2 qualification, you’ll have up-to-date knowledge of welfare and safeguarding practices within education. We need you to build great relationships with all our young people, so you can motivate them to do well and be the best that they can be. If you’re emotionally strong and good in a team, we can offer a role with exciting prospects.
