Learning Support Assistant

West Exe School is a member of the Ted Wragg Multi Academy Trust. The Trust is a values driven, rapidly growing 2 – 16 Trust with a relentless focus on transforming lives through learning by delivering outstanding outcomes for every pupil, regardless of background. With a reputation for highly successful school improvement in very challenging circumstances, we are passionate about driving up standards and raising the aspirations of all our pupils.

We are looking to recruit a committed, hardworking and enthusiastic Learning Support Assistant to start as soon as possible.

Under the direction of the Head of Learning Support, the post holder will have responsibility for supporting students in small groups and one to one.   A good level of education is essential, with the postholder having achieved at least grade C in GCSE English and Maths or equivalent qualifications.   Experience of working with students with communication and interaction difficulties (speech and language and those on the Autism spectrum) are desirable, but not essential.  The postholder should be capable of developing excellent relationships with the students and therefore a proven record of successfully working with young people is essential.
