We are looking for a Learning Support Assistant to provide one-to-one and small group support to students with learning difficulties and disabilities in our mainstream classes. You will work closely with subject teachers to establish working roles and ensure that students' Individual Education Plans (IEPs) are fully understood and implemented.

As a Learning Support Assistant, you will be responsible for assisting teachers in the delivery of subject lessons as directed, as well as providing supervision and support for basic academic and functional skills programmes.
