At Oakham Primary School, we provide a positive, inclusive and engaging learning environment where children thrive and develop intellectually, emotionally, socially and physically. We believe that our school is an inspiring place that encourages children to develop an enquiring mind, a desire for knowledge, have high personal expectations whilst understanding and respecting others.

We strive to nurture reflective, collaborative children with a genuine love of learning through a well-rounded and inspiring curriculum. Children are at the heart of every decision we make to ensure that they are encouraged and inspired to achieve their full potential. By working together and promoting positive attitudes, we can move forward with confidence, preparing children for their future lives.

We are looking for a Learning Support Assistant to join our team on a 1 year fixed term basis, with structured working hours each day.

The successful applicant will be joining a hardworking team undertaking the support of pupils with Special Educational Needs. You must have a proven record of working with children with SEN and be innovative in your approaches to responding to and resolving challenging behaviours. Experience working within a focussed provision and an understanding of ASD would be beneficial as you must be an excellent role model and be able to form good working relationships with pupils, their families and colleagues.

Our School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of vulnerable groups including children, and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. An Enhanced DBS clearance and Childcare Disqualification Declaration is required for this role.
