Who we are looking for

The ideal candidate should be proactive  and confident working with pupils in a Secondary School setting.

We are looking for a candidate who can build positive relationships, adapt to different classroom environments, and support pupils with a range of learning needs.

The ideal candidate will have previous experience working as a Learning Support Assistant, Teaching Assistant or support worker, ideally within a secondary school or nurture provision, supporting pupils in KS3 and KS4.

This role would suit candidates with relevant qualifications or strong transferable skills from education, youth work, care or SEND‑focused roles.
