Casual Learning Support Assistants

Bexley is an outer London Borough with the best of both worlds, located between the hustle and bustle of London and the Garden of England, Kent.

Within the borough we have award winning parks, open spaces, and listed heritage sites.

The Learning & Enterprise College Bexley is a vibrant adult education college responsible for delivering high quality outcomes for learners, residents and employers, while contributing to the strategic objectives laid out in Bexley Council’s corporate priorities for adult learning, employment and wellbeing.  

We were pleased to secure an OFSTED judgement of “Good” in March 2020 and since then have continued on our journey, delivering high quality education through a variety of methods. 

We are looking to enhance our team of highly motivated Learning Support Assistants to enable access to learning for all  learners with Special Educational Needs and/or SpLD and physical needs, by supporting their teaching and learning and by providing individual support when required.  

Work may be carried out in the classroom or outside the main teaching area. You will support learners and encourage independence, help to build self-esteem and raise confidence in the learners you provide support for. 

The successful candidate will have an interesting and varied role, working as part of the Learner Services team. 

The ideal person will be a good communicator who is able to provide practical and administrative support to enable learners to achieve their outcomes.  

Experience of working in an Education setting including Adult and Community Learning or Further Education, with an awareness of the different kinds of learning difficulty (eg. Dyslexia, Autism Spectrum, ADHD etc.) would be an advantage. 

A minimum of Level 2 English and Maths (or equivalent) is required.
