About the Role

Our client, a further education provider, is looking for a Learning Support Assistant to join their team. You'll provide dedicated support to learners with additional needs, working alongside teaching staff to help every student engage with their studies and work towards their individual goals.

• Encouraging learners to build confidence, independence and practical skills.
• Supporting learners in line with their individual learning plans.
• Helping to maintain a safe, inclusive and encouraging learning environment.

What We're Looking For

Essential:

• Experience of supporting learners with additional needs
• An understanding of what an EHCP (Education, Health and Care Plan) is and how it informs support
• Confidence working both one to one and within a classroom setting
• Patience, encouragement and a genuine commitment to inclusive learning

Desirable (but not essential):

• Experience working within the further education sector
• Previous experience in a learning support or education role

If you're ready to make a genuine difference to learners with additional needs, we'd love to hear from you. Apply today and help students build the confidence and independence to reach their goals.
