Job description

A friendly and inclusive primary school in Bromley Heath is searching for an experienced SEND Learning Support Assistant to provide dedicated 1:1 support for a Key Stage 2 pupil with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and a PDA (Pathological Demand Avoidance) profile.

This is a permanent opportunity for someone who understands that progress isn't always measured in worksheets completed. Sometimes it's a smile, a moment of trust, or helping a child tackle something they didn't think they could do yesterday.

You'll become part of a caring school community where positive relationships come first and every child is encouraged to thrive in their own way.

What you'll be doing

  • Providing consistent 1:1 support for a KS2 pupil throughout the school day.
  • Using your knowledge of ASD and PDA to adapt your approach and build trust.
  • Encouraging independence while supporting learning, emotional regulation and wellbeing.
  • Working closely with the class teacher and SEND team to deliver personalised support.
  • Helping create a calm, predictable and engaging learning environment.

We'd love to hear from you if you have

  • Previous experience supporting children with ASD and PDA.
  • A calm, patient and flexible approach to supporting individual needs.
  • Confidence working collaboratively with school staff and families.
  • An Enhanced Child Workforce DBS on the Update Service.
  • At least 24 months of referenceable employment or education history.

Ready before September

You'll receive TeamTeach training over the summer, giving you the practical skills and confidence to start your new role fully prepared.

Why join Protocol Education?

  • Weekly PAYE pay, no umbrella companies.
  • Free access to our online CPD Academy.
  • TeamTeach training before you start.
  • A dedicated consultant who'll support you throughout your placement.
  • Ongoing opportunities to grow your SEND career.

If you're based in Bromley Heath, Downend, Emersons Green, Winterbourne, Fishponds, Mangotsfield, Staple Hill or the surrounding BS16 area, this could be the perfect opportunity to build a rewarding long-term career supporting a child who'll truly benefit from your experience.

Apply today and let's help you find a role where your patience, understanding and expertise will make a lasting difference.

All applicants will require the appropriate qualifications and training for this role. Please see the FAQs on the Protocol Education website for further details.

All pay rates quoted will be inclusive of 12.07% statutory holiday pay. This advert is for a temporary position. In some cases, the option to make this role permanent may become available at a later date.

Protocol Education is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children. We undertake safeguarding checks on all workers in accordance with the DfE statutory guidance ‘Keeping Children Safe in Education’, this may also include an online search as part of our due diligence on shortlisted applicants.
We offer FREE online safeguarding and Prevent Duty training to all our workers. All candidates must undertake or have undertaken a valid enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check and subscribe to the DBS Update Service.
