We are looking to appoint a Learning Support Assistant to provide individual support for a child within the Early and Foundation Years
We are looking for a kind, patient and enthusiastic 1:1 Learning Support Assistant to provide dedicated support for a neurodivergent child in Reception.
This is a rewarding opportunity to make a real difference during an important stage in a child's early education. Working closely with the Class Teacher and Learning Enrichment team, you will help the child to access classroom learning, participate fully in school life, understand behavioural boundaries and develop their confidence, independence and positive relationships with others.
The successful candidate will have a calm, nurturing and flexible approach, with the ability to develop a warm and trusting relationship with the child. You will provide sensitive and consistent support tailored to the child's individual learning, communication, sensory and emotional needs, while encouraging independence wherever possible.
Experience of working with young children is essential, ideally within a school or Early Years setting. Previous experience of supporting a child or a pupil on an individual basis would be particularly welcome, although equally important will be your patience, empathy, reliability and willingness to learn.
This role would suit someone who enjoys working closely with young children and understands how the right support can enable a child to feel happy, secure and confident within a busy and stimulating Prep School environment.
