Learning Support Assistant

We are partnership with a lovely school in Sevenoaks who are looking to increase their team of Learning Support Assistants.

LSAs are vital to the development of students who require additional support due to learning difficulties or social, emotional and mental health needs. Candidates require patience, initiative and a positive attitude, as well as a good sense of humour!

As an LSA, you will be responsible for;

• Helping to implement and embed strategies to ensure that students are thriving in the learning environment
• Maintaining effective relationships with students, colleagues and teachers
• Assisting the student to access the curriculum through different means that suit their needs
• Monitoring and recording the progress of students, offering advise and direction
• Attending AEN (Additional Educational Needs) meetings
• Facilitating all assessments and submitting reports

While you do not need to be qualified for this position, previous experience within a school is essential and experience in a Teaching Assistant (mainstream or SEN) would be advantageous.

This is a full time, permanent position for an immediate start in term time + two weeks as required by the school.

Hours of work are: Monday-Thursday: 8:30-4pm and Friday 8:30-3:30pm

Term Time Teachers are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, therefore all candidates will be subject to a full registration and an Enhanced DBS (formerly known as CRB).
