We are looking for Learning Support Assistants both for our special needs centres and our mainstream school, working both as general class Learning Support Assistants as well as on a one to one capacity with pupils with special educational needs.

We have an exciting opportunity for Learning Support Assistants to join the team at Eastwick Schools. The postholders will support the class teacher with their responsibility for the development and education of children in schools, which may include pupils with special needs.

At Eastwick we believe that children get just one childhood; it should be a magical and happy time where education should leave a host of positive and deep, meaningful memories that last for the rest of their lives. With this in mind children are at the heart of every decision we make. We aim for every child to be happy, confident risk takers who fulfil their potential. We provide a nurturing environment where we value each child and promote positive attitudes and lifelong learning to help children grow into independent, respectful and creative adults with their own unique gifts and talents. Eastwick School is a federation of Eastwick Infant School and Eastwick Junior School offering inspirational education to children from 4 to 11 years. There are 3 classes in each year group and a 22 place Special Needs Centre in each school.
