About the Role

As a Learning Support Assistant, you will work as part of the education team to support pupils to access learning, build regulation, and develop the skills and confidence needed to achieve. You will play a key role in supporting learning activities, delivering targeted support, and helping create calm, purposeful learning environments.

Key Responsibilities

  • Use AAD/TIP approaches to support co-regulation, transitions, routines and emotionally safe learning experiences.
  • Support communication and interaction using consistent, autism-informed strategies.
  • Provide practical support in the classroom (preparing resources, adapting tasks, supporting organisation and readiness to learn).
  • Work closely with colleagues across education/care/clinical teams, contributing to consistent approaches across the school day.
  • Maintain clear, professional records as required and handle information appropriately in line with confidentiality and safeguarding.
  • Support with transport.
  • Support where needed in the home.

Qualifications & Experience

  • A genuine commitment to improving outcomes and wellbeing for children and young people with additional support needs.
  • Kindness, patience, empathy and the ability to build trusted relationships.
  • Confidence supporting pupils who may present with distressed behaviour, using calm, consistent and restorative responses aligned with TIP.
  • Experience supporting children/young people with ASN (particularly ASC/SEMH/trauma) – desirable, not essential if you bring the right values and transferable skills.
  • Flexibility, teamwork and a solution-focused mindset, including the ability to work across both sites when required.

Benefits

  • Life Assurance
  • Pension scheme with options to increase contributions
  • Your Wellbeing Matters – mental health support and physical health checks
  • Flexible Benefits Platform (Vista), including: Health, wellbeing and insurance benefits, hundreds of UK and international discounts, Cycle to Work Scheme & Electric Car Purchase Scheme, Critical illness cover, Family Growth Support, including enhanced maternity/paternity leave and paid fertility treatment support
