Academics are currently recruiting Learning Support and Teaching Assistants with good behavioural management skills in Portsmouth to fulfil daily supply, short term and long term full-time contracts.

Learning Support Assistant - Portsmouth

The role of a Learning Support Assistant involves enabling young people to develop and make progress by providing physical, emotional and nurturing support during their school day as well as supporting the Teacher in your classroom.

As a Learning Support Assistant/Teaching Assistant with Academics, you will ideally be available Monday to Friday between 8.30am - 3.30pm. Many of our client schools need consistency in the classroom, this is why full time is the ideal scenario.

This means you must have great communication skills in order to build relationships with both your students and the staff. The position involves working as part of a team to maintain a stable, happy and caring environment that makes the health, safety, care and welfare of young people a priority.

You will be expected to support the classroom and students as a whole as well as aid the teacher when necessary. In some cases you will be required to work on a 1:1 basis with children that are lower level learners or children that have challenging behaviours.

To be a successful Teaching Assistant you will be a strong team player, confident, motivated and well organised. Patience and commitment are essential, but above all, you'll be someone with a genuine desire to help others.

Although experience in a classroom or educational setting is advantageous, we will also consider applicants with other experience.
