Learning Support Assistant

Temporary

Start date: September 2026

Are you passionate about supporting learners to overcome barriers and reach their potential?

About the Role

As a Learning Support Assistant with a training provider, you'll work alongside teaching staff to give learners the individual attention that helps them engage, make progress and grow in confidence.

You'll deliver one-to-one and small-group support, adapting your approach to suit different needs and learning styles. Your patience and encouragement will help learners build the skills and independence they need to succeed.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Supporting learners individually and in small groups both in and out of the classroom.
• Working alongside teaching staff to reinforce learning and deliver interventions.
• Encouraging learners to build confidence, motivation and independence.
• Adapting resources and support to remove barriers to learning.
• Monitoring and feeding back on learner progress to teaching colleagues.

What We're Looking For

Essential:

• Experience of supporting learners with additional needs
• Patience, empathy and strong communication skills
• The ability to build positive, professional relationships with learners and staff
• A genuine commitment to inclusive learning

Desirable (but not essential):

• Experience of working with SEND or SEMH needs
• Knowledge of EHCPs and learning support strategies
• A relevant qualification in education or support work, or a willingness to work towards one

If you're ready to help learners achieve more than they thought possible, we'd love to hear from you.
