About the Role

Learning Support Assistant – 121 Support Focus

Are you passionate about providing personalised, one-to-one support that makes a genuine difference?

Do you thrive on creating engaging, tailored learning experiences that help young people overcome barriers and flourish—both academically and emotionally?

We are seeking a dedicated Learning Support Assistant (LSA) to join a friendly and forward-thinking SEND school this September. This role is all about working directly with individual students on a 1:1 basis, delivering focused intervention sessions, and supporting each learner’s unique journey.

What This Role Involves

As an LSA in this role, you will be the vital link supporting students who benefit from personalised attention and creative learning approaches. You’ll work closely with the student, their teachers, and parents to understand their needs, adapt learning plans, and provide a consistent, nurturing presence.

Your work will include planning and running targeted intervention sessions that help students develop key skills—academic, social, and emotional. You’ll have the freedom and responsibility to design your own resources, create fun and meaningful activities, and continually adapt your approach to suit each student’s strengths and challenges.

Communication is key: you’ll regularly liaise with parents and carers, sharing progress, celebrating successes, and working together to support the student’s wider development.

Key Responsibilities

  • Deliver 1:1 intervention sessions tailored to individual learning goals
  • Plan, prepare, and create engaging, bespoke learning resources and activities
  • Provide consistent, patient support that encourages independence and self-confidence
  • Monitor and record student progress, adjusting strategies as needed
  • Build strong relationships with students, fostering trust and motivation
  • Communicate regularly with parents and carers to provide updates and collaborate on strategies
  • Work closely with class teachers, SENDCo, and outside professionals to implement IEPs and behaviour plans
  • Support the development of communication, literacy, numeracy, and social skills
  • Contribute to a positive, inclusive school culture that celebrates every student’s potential

Who We’re Looking For

  • A genuine passion for supporting children and young people with diverse needs
  • Patience, empathy, and creativity in tailoring support and activities
  • Confidence in taking initiative to develop your own teaching resources
  • Excellent communication skills, especially in engaging with parents and the school team
  • Experience or interest in working in SEND, SEMH, or similar settings is desirable but not essential
  • A team player with a positive attitude and commitment to safeguarding and student wellbeing

What You’ll Gain

  • The opportunity to make a lasting impact through personalised, meaningful support
  • A supportive and inclusive school environment that values your ideas and input
  • Professional development opportunities to build your skills in SEND education and intervention
  • The chance to work closely with students, families, and professionals in a collaborative way
  • A role that’s flexible, creative, and truly rewarding every day

If you’re ready to use your passion, creativity, and heart to help young people succeed one student at a time, we would love to hear from you.
