Contract: Fixed Term until 31st August 2026

We wish to appoint an excellent and enthusiastic SEND Learning Assistant to join our friendly and supportive team. We are looking for a Learning Assistant (LA) who is flexible, enthusiastic, shows initiative and is passionate about children’s learning; one who will join our established team and contribute to our school’s community and vision.

We require the successful applicant to:

  • Be experienced or interested in working with pupils with complex needs
  • Be comfortable with working as a ‘Flexible LA’ – could be placed in different classes depending on the need of the school
  • Be experienced in working with Work Stations and PECS and supporting pre-verbal children
  • Be experienced in working in EYFS and lower KS1
  • Be comfortable with intimate personal care, i.e. nappy changing
  • Have a proven track record of successfully supporting children with special educational needs
  • Knowledge of using hoists and manual handling training would be beneficial but not essential.

In addition to the above, we would like the applicant to be sensitive to children’s varying needs, be able to work under the guidance of the teaching team, Inclusion Manager and Leadership Team and, crucially, to have a sense of humour (essential in this environment!)

The post is on a fixed term basis starting 1st September 2025 to 31st August 2026.
