At Academics, we understand the challenges of working in education - because every consultant is a former teacher. That means we know what it's like to stand in your shoes, and we're passionate about helping Learning Support Assistants thrive in roles where they can make a real difference.

We're currently recruiting enthusiastic and caring Learning Support Assistants for immediate and after-Easter starts across Doncaster.

Why choose Academics as a Learning Support Assistant?

Pay rate: £88-£110 per day, always PAYE - no umbrella company deductions
Ongoing support - if a placement isn't the right fit, we'll find you another
Return to familiar schools - we aim to build you a small core group of schools, so you're not a stranger every day
Build real relationships with children and colleagues by returning to schools you love
A dedicated consultant who's an ex-teacher - offering advice, guidance, and unique insight into each school
Opportunities to fall back in love with teaching - by taking control of your career, workload, and work-life balance

Choose from supply or long-term contracts - we'll find the right fit for you
We remove the extra pressures:

• No lesson planning
• No data tracking
• No evening marking
• No endless meetings
• No OFSTED preparation

We're here to help you reclaim your love for teaching and support, without the overwhelming admin that comes with permanent posts.

We have Learning Support Assistant roles available now and many long-term contracts starting after Easter - if you start a role and it doesn't feel right, we promise to work swiftly to move you somewhere that suits you better.

What's involved as a Learning Support Assistant?

• Supporting children with learning, emotional, or behavioural needs
• Assisting the teacher in creating a positive classroom environment
• Helping pupils access the curriculum in ways that work for them
• Providing 1:1 or small group support
• Being a reliable and caring presence in the classroom

At Academics, we want every Learning Support Assistant to feel like a valued part of the team. We'll always be on hand to help you transition smoothly into your school, understand the children's needs, and ensure you're happy in your role.
