Learning Support Assistant

St Columba’s College are seeking to appoint a dedicated Learning Support Assistant. Previous experience of supporting children with special educational needs is desirable, but not essential. This post could be a springboard into a career in Teaching for graduate applicants. We are looking for practitioners with high expectations of pupil achievement and progress. The successful candidate will have excellent interpersonal and communication skills and have a flexible approach. 

We are looking for candidates who set themselves high personal standards and who are keen to develop professionally. The applicant will put the experience of the child at the heart of their practice; someone eager to extend children’s learning and promote the spiritual, moral, cultural, emotional and social development of the students and the community life. 

In return we offer an attractive salary and benefits package including fee remission for the children of staff educated at the college, free lunches, car parking, 17 weeks’ school holidays, use of the Fitness Suite and cycle to work and tech schemes.

St Columba’s College is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. All postholders will be required to undergo child protection screening appropriate to the post, including reference checks with past employers and the Disclosure and Barring Service.
