Are you passionate about helping learners with additional needs build confidence, independence and real progress?

About the Role

As a Learning Support Assistant with a further education provider, you'll work alongside teaching staff to provide tailored support to learners with additional learning needs, helping them access their programme and achieve their goals.

You'll build positive, trusting relationships with the learners you support, adapting your approach to suit individual needs and creating an inclusive environment where everyone can thrive.

• Working closely with teaching staff to help learners engage with lessons and complete their work.
• Encouraging learner independence, confidence and engagement.
• Supporting learners in line with their individual learning plans and EHCP requirements.
• Helping to create a calm, inclusive and supportive learning environment.

What We're Looking For

Essential:

• Experience of supporting learners with special educational needs and/or disabilities
• 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, empathy and strong communication skills
• A genuine commitment to inclusive education

Desirable (but not essential):

• Experience working within the further education sector
• Previous experience in a learning support 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 learners build the confidence and independence to reach their goals.
