Five Education is working with a small, welcoming primary school in Bath to recruit a committed 1:1 Learning Support Assistant to support a child with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND). This position is set to begin in September and will likely run for the full academic year, with the potential to extend.

The school is known for its supportive staff and inclusive ethos. You'll be joining a nurturing team that works closely together to ensure every child feels valued and supported. The role will involve working closely with one child, providing tailored, consistent support to help them access the curriculum, regulate emotions, and thrive within the school environment.

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who is passionate about making a difference and is looking to gain valuable experience in SEND education. Previous experience is helpful, but not essential. What matters most is your patience, reliability and willingness to learn.

You'll receive support and guidance from your dedicated Five Education consultant, along with access to free training such as Makaton, Team Teach and PMLD Awareness.

Main Responsibilities:

• Provide 1:1 support throughout the school day, adapting activities to meet the child's needs

• Foster a safe, positive and engaging learning environment

• Promote emotional regulation and social development

• Work collaboratively with the class teacher and SENCo to follow individual support plans

• Support the child during playtime and lunchtime to ensure their well-being and inclusion

Essential Criteria:

• Reliable, empathetic and confident in supporting children with additional needs

• Available to work full-time, Monday to Friday, 8:30-15:30 (term-time only), from September 2025

• Right to work in the UK - we cannot offer sponsorship or accept Skilled Worker visas

• Able to provide two recent references (from the last two years)

• Hold an enhanced DBS check on the Update Service, or be willing to apply for one*

*Please note, if you do not have a Non-Voluntary Enhanced DBS on the Update Service, we will need to help you process a new one at a cost of £62.70. This will be refunded after 20 days of work with us.

What can Five Education offer you?

• Check out our Google reviews for one of the best supply experiences in Bristol! We offer free specialised training in areas such as Team Teach, Makaton, PMLD/SLD Awareness, Autism Awareness, and more

• Free DBS (refunded when you work 20 days)

• Recommending a friend bonus scheme

• Specialist support / mentoring while you are working

If you think this could be a job for you, please get in touch to find out more from Kate at 01174226167. We are always available for an informal chat if you want to find out more about whether this role is suited to you.

Pay: Five Education operates a PAYE payroll; this is the most transparent way to be paid with no hidden fees such as admin fee or employer's NI. Please note pay rate is for illustration and does include holiday pay.

Vetting: Five Education is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all of the staff we employ to share this commitment. Successful applicants will be required to undergo checks including reference checks, TRA checks and will need to have a DBS. There will also be an interview.

We welcome and encourage job applications from people of all backgrounds. We particularly welcome applications from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) candidates as they are currently under-represented at this level.
