Job Title: Learning Support Assistant – Secondary School
Location: Bexley
Start Date: September 2025
Behind every confident student is someone who believed in them first. Could that be you?
We’re looking for a dedicated Learning Support Assistant to join a fantastic secondary school, supporting students across KS3 and KS4 who need that extra bit of help to thrive.
Whether it’s breaking down tricky tasks, boosting confidence, or just being that calm, consistent presence—they’ll be counting on you.
What you’ll be doing:
Supporting students with a range of needs (learning, emotional, social)
Helping in-class and during interventions—across subjects and abilities
Being a trusted adult pupils can talk to when things feel tough
Collaborating with teachers, SENCOs and pastoral staff
Helping students access learning and grow their independence
We’d love to hear from you if you:
✅ Have experience supporting young people (school, tutoring, youth work all count!)
✅ Are calm, patient, and able to adapt to different learning styles
✅ Have strong communication skills and enjoy working as part of a team
✅ Want to make school feel that little bit easier for someone else
Extra experience with SEND, SEMH or EAL? Brilliant. But not essential.
