Learning Support Assistant – Bristol

September 2025 to July 2026 | Full-time | Term-Time Only
£89–£100 per day (PAYE, no umbrella deductions)

Looking for a role where your calm nature and can-do attitude can make a real impact?

We’re working with a wonderfully inclusive and nurturing primary school in the heart of Bristol, known for its buzzing atmosphere, brilliant staff, and genuinely lovely pupils. They’re looking for a Learning Support Assistant to join their team this September and stay on until July.

This isn’t just any classroom support role. You’ll be part of a well-established team that genuinely values its support staff and sees LSAs as a vital piece of the school puzzle. You’ll be working closely with children across Key Stage 1 and 2, supporting learning, building confidence, and helping every child to thrive—especially those who need a bit of extra encouragement.

Got experience with ASD, ADHD or speech and language needs? Amazing.

Got patience, empathy, and a brilliant sense of humour? Even better.

What’s on offer:

  • A settled, supportive school with a strong community feel

  • Clear routines and experienced class teachers to work alongside

  • Opportunities to develop your skills and take part in CPD

  • A dedicated consultant who’ll support you every step of the way

What you’ll need:

  • Previous experience supporting children (in schools, youth work, or care)

  • A proactive, nurturing attitude and great communication skills

  • Availability from September to July (term time only)

 Not Thrive trained yet? We’ll fund that for you—free of charge. Schools love it, and it gives you an extra string to your bow.
