Vacancies Learning Support Assistant Job Introduction

The Role

East Meon C of E Primary School is looking for a dedicated and inspiring Learning Support Assistant to join our team. The successful candidate will create a safe, engaging and structured environment that allows our SEND children to access the curriculum, develop their communication skills and support them to self-regulate.

We are a progressive, inclusive and welcoming small village school that believes in high standards, not just for our pupils, but for the bespoke support we provide them. We continue to build a setting that blends our traditional village heart with a forward-thinking, modern approach to inclusion.

• Wants to be a pivotal part of a school 

Join us in a role where your individual focus will help shape the future of a child.  We are looking for somebody who finds joy in the "small wins" and understands that progress for all children is a unique journey.

Essential Criteria:

• Exceptional patience and the ability to remain calm and regulated under pressure.

• A proactive "can-do" attitude with a focus on inclusive practice.

• The desire to work with children on a 1:1, or 1:3 basis, work alongside children with additional needs.

Desirable Criteria:

• Previous experience in an educational setting.

• Previous experience working with children with Special Educational Needs (SEND)

• Relevant qualifications (e.g., NVQ Level 2/3 in Childcare) 

CPD offer

• Training in sensory processing

• De-escalation techniques

• Team teach approaches

• Safeguarding training

• First Aid training.
