Learning Support Assistant
Aspire People
Location: Central Manchester
Job Type: Full-Time, Long-Term
Potential: Temp-to-Perm
Salary: Competitive, dependent on experience
Aspire People are currently working in partnership with a well-established secondary school within a trust in Central Manchester, who are seeking a dedicated and enthusiastic Learning Support Assistant to join their team on a full-time, long-term basis.
This is an excellent opportunity for a graduate looking to develop their career within education. For the right candidate, there is also the potential for the position to become permanent following a successful temporary period.
The Role
As a Learning Support Assistant, you will work closely with teaching staff to support students across the school, helping them to access learning and reach their full potential.
Your responsibilities will include:
* Providing academic and pastoral support to secondary-aged students.
* Supporting students with Special Educational Needs (SEN).
* Working with students on a 1:1 basis and in small groups.
* Assisting students in accessing the curriculum and completing learning activities.
* Supporting students to develop their confidence, independence and engagement.
* Working closely with teachers and the wider support team to ensure students receive appropriate support.
* Helping to create a positive, inclusive and supportive learning environment.
The Ideal Candidate
The school is particularly interested in hearing from candidates who are:
* Graduates looking to pursue a career in education, teaching, psychology, SEN or a related field.
* Experienced in working with children or young people.
* Able to demonstrate previous tutoring experience.
* Experienced in an educational setting, such as a school, college or tuition centre.
* Able to demonstrate relevant placement experience working with children.
* Passionate about supporting young people and helping them succeed.
* Patient, approachable, resilient and confident.
* Able to build positive relationships with students.
* A strong communicator who can work effectively as part of a team.
An enhanced DBS will be required for this role, on the update service, or willing to pay for a new DBS.
Previous experience supporting students with SEN is desirable but not essential, as the school is willing to consider candidates with transferable experience and the right attitude.
Why Work with Aspire People?
* Full-time, long-term opportunity within a supportive secondary school.
* Potential temp-to-perm position for the right candidate.
* Opportunity to gain valuable experience within education.
* Dedicated consultant support throughout your placement.
* Opportunities to develop your experience working with SEN and secondary-aged students.
* References covering your last two years of employment/education, where applicable.
If you are a graduate, aspiring teacher, experienced tutor or have previous experience working with children and are looking for a rewarding opportunity in a secondary school, we would love to hear from you.
