Learning Support Assistant

The Blue Coat School joined the South Farnham Educational Trust and is the second, secondary school alongside Brighton Hill School.  As such, we are in a great position to be at the forefront of educational developments to provide the best possible school experience for our students.

There is a strong sense of community within the school and a real desire amongst staff to grow and develop our teaching and provision. We are committed to ensuring a truly inclusive, enjoyable and successful school environment for all children.  

Every student has a place in our school and the team are committed to high standards and expectations in every aspect of our work.   We aim to grow and develop as a school community to meet these expectations which will best prepare our students for a successful and happy life after their journey with us.

Learning Support Assistant

The role is not the traditional in class support; every day will be different.  The coaching approach enables our students to receive the highest quality, personalised intervention.  You will develop a positive working relationship with your allocated students, enabling you to plan the best support for their academic and social progress.   This could involve adjusting activities, daily check-ins, suggesting supporting strategies for staff, 1:1 interventions or other strategies.

Candidates

We are looking for someone who is enthusiastic and positive in their outlook, who is dedicated to supporting  students in school and willing to work hard.  The candidate should be empathetic yet firm, displays patience and calmness and is committed to understanding and supporting the student’s needs.
