Learning Support Assistant (1:1) – LKS2 (Suitable for ECTs looking to gain more experience)
Are you a proactive educator who views behaviour as a form of communication? Do you thrive in environments where creativity and flexibility are valued over rigid scripts?
We are seeking a highly skilled and independent 1:1 Learning Support Assistant.
The Candidate We Need
We aren’t just looking for an extra pair of hands; we are looking for a thinking partner. You will work closely with the Class Teacher and SENDCo, but you will be expected to use your own initiative to navigate the school day.
Key Requirements:
* Adaptability: The ability to “scaffold in the moment”-making a task SEND-friendly and accessible without needing constant direction.
* Expertise in Neurodiversity: Significant experience or understanding of ASD, ADHD, and PDA (Pathological Demand Avoidance) profiles.
* De-escalation Skills: A master of low-demand strategies and “thinking on your feet” when things don’t go to plan.
* Relational Approach: A commitment to working in a trauma-informed way, building a strong bond based on trust rather than high-pressure demands.
* Creative Pedagogy: You might find yourself teaching math through outdoor play-like using chalk to draw clocks on the pavement-rather than sitting at a desk.
* Strategic Support: Using structured choices and engagement-led learning to bypass demand-avoidance triggers.
* Collaborative Planning: While we expect independence, we support our staff. PPA time is specifically provided for 1:1 planning to ensure you have the space to adapt resources effectively.
Why Join Us?
* A supportive staff team and SENDCo.
* Dedicated PPA time for 1:1 prep.
* Competitive rates of pay
* Friendly and supportive recruitment consultants who are committed to helping you succeed.
