Sen Learning Support Assistant

Learning Support Assistants

We are specifically working with a secondary school in Merseyside who are looking to secure the services of an outstanding Learning Support Assistant, for long-term positions. The school aims to support young people to learn to make steps to improve and enjoy achieving success. A caring, structured learning environment is provided in which all pupils can develop academically, socially and emotionally and in which pupils and staff feel safe, secure and valued.

In school, pupils are accepted, valued and feel safe and encouraged by all staff to assist with all needs. They assess pastoral and learning needs and plan for progress. They also give time to pupils so they can reflect on and reassess their difficulties, build self-esteem and develop meaningful relationships.

All staff aim to improve each pupil's academic performance, ability to learn and social and emotional skills so that pupils are able to return to school, further education or enter the world of work. All roles work productively and collaborate with parents, carers, other schools, training organisations and other appropriate agencies for the good of all pupils.
