Temporary | Contract

Location: the West Midlands

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

About the Role

An opportunity has arisen for a Learning Support Assistant to join a further education provider in the West Midlands. You'll work alongside teaching staff to support learners with additional learning needs, helping them access the curriculum and get the most from their studies.

You'll provide one-to-one and small-group support both in lessons and around the wider site, adapting your approach to suit individual needs and building learners' confidence and independence as they progress.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Providing one-to-one and small-group support to learners with a range of additional learning needs.
• Helping learners access the curriculum and develop independent learning skills.
• Working closely with teaching staff to put support strategies in place and adapt learning materials.
• Encouraging engagement, inclusion and positive behaviour in the classroom.
• Supporting learners around the site as they manage routines and daily life as a student.
• Maintaining accurate records and contributing to learner support plans and reviews.

What We're Looking For

Essential:

• Experience supporting young people or adults with additional learning needs
• The ability to build positive, trusting relationships with learners
• Patience, sensitivity and strong communication skills
• The ability to work on your own initiative as well as part of a team

Desirable (but not essential):

• Experience working within the further education sector
• An understanding of Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCPs) and how they inform support

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.
