If you’re someone who brings patience, kindness, and a steady presence to every day, this could be a brilliant role for you.
We’re supporting a welcoming school that’s looking for a 1:1 Learning Support Assistant to work closely with a pupil who needs consistent guidance to feel settled and confident in class.

-
Comfortable building strong, supportive relationships
If you’ve got the right attitude, we can help you build the skills.
