Deadline Date: 15th June 2026

We are looking to appoint a part-time (term time only) Learning Support Assistant, to join our Learning Skills Department on a one-year fixed term contract.

We seek to appoint a suitably qualified Learning Support Assistant with relevant experience working with children with SEND, ideally in Key Stages 3 and 4. Experience supporting learners with EAL would also be beneficial. The desired candidate will be committed to delivering outstanding support, both within a classroom context and when leading small group and individual interventions. This role requires excellent communication skills, commitment to teamwork and a passion for working with pupils with SEND.

The contract is for 16 hours per week, to be worked Tuesday and Thursday 8.30am – 5pm (including 30 minute unpaid lunch break), term time only. However the successful candidate should have some flexibility on this work pattern, as this is subject to change depending on timetables and pupil requirements. We would be interested in hearing from suitably skilled and qualified applicants who are unable to fulfil all aspects of the specified work pattern but could provide the majority of the part time hours or similar flexibility.

The salary is £13.42 – £15.46, per hour dependent on experience and qualifications. Statutory holiday pay is additional and any time off is permitted only in the school holidays. The successful applicant will need to complete regular professional development and departmental training and attend whole school INSET days.

We would be looking to appoint a suitable candidate for the academic year 26/27 which commences on the 1st September 2026.
