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!
