Learning Support Assistant - Make a Real Difference

Location: Basildon, Essex
Role: Learning Support Assistant / Teaching Assistant
Contract: Long-term / Full-time
Start Date: September
Pay: £93-£105 per day, dependent on experience

Are you resilient, passionate and genuinely motivated by helping children succeed?

We are looking for a dedicated and resilient Learning Support Assistant to join a fantastic school and become a valued member of their support team.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who doesn't simply want to work in a school, but genuinely wants to make a difference to children's lives, learning and confidence.

You will have the opportunity to work across different Key Stages, supporting pupils both 1:1 and within small groups, meaning no two days will necessarily look the same.

The Role

As a Learning Support Assistant, you will:

  • Provide high-quality 1:1 support to pupils who require additional assistance.
  • Work with small groups of children, supporting their learning and development.
  • Support pupils across different Key Stages and adapt your approach to different ages and abilities.
  • Build positive, trusting relationships with children.
  • Encourage pupils to develop their confidence, independence and resilience.
  • Support children who may require additional academic, social, emotional or behavioural support.
  • Work closely with teachers and the wider support team to ensure pupils receive consistent support.
  • Help create a safe, inclusive and engaging learning environment.
  • Celebrate progress, however big or small.
  • Encourage children to believe in themselves and reach their potential.

The Ideal Candidate

We are looking for someone who is:

Resilient - You understand that supporting children isn't always easy and are able to remain calm, consistent and positive when faced with challenges.

Genuinely passionate - You care about children and want to see them succeed, not simply complete the working day.

Adaptable - You can confidently move between Key Stages, individuals and groups and adjust your approach according to the needs of the pupils.

Relationship-focused - You understand the importance of building trust before expecting children to engage and learn.

Patient & consistent - You can provide children with the reassurance, boundaries and encouragement they need.

Enthusiastic & engaging - You can make learning enjoyable and help pupils feel motivated.

Trial days will be commencing soon, so please apply TODAY!
