Job description

We are seeking a dedicated Learning Support Assistant on behalf of a leading Alternative Provision in West London supporting pupils aged 5 - 19 outside mainstream education. Operating from a modern, purpose-built campus with specialist facilities - including science labs, catering suites, and music technology studios - the school provides a dynamic environment designed to help young people thrive.

In this role, you will work alongside a passionate team helping students - many at risk of permanent exclusion - re-engage with learning, build confidence, and transition back to mainstream school or into further education and employment. It is an ideal opportunity for an educator looking to make a meaningful impact in a supportive setting.

• Implement professional boundaries to build student trust.

You Must Have…

• Be able to provide consistent and unwavering care and support to a group of students, taking a lead in running activities and leading a small team.
• Demonstrated success in promoting learning and student development, including assessing and recording progress.
• Strong emotional resilience and professional maturity.
• Commitment to trauma-informed care principles.
• Maths and English GCSE at a grade 4/C or above.
• The candidate will be required to undergo a full enhanced DBS check.
• Previous experience supporting students with social, emotional, or mental health (SEMH) needs, such as in foster care, residential children's homes, social care, or other complex care settings.

• Clear growth pathways in a supportive, inclusive environment.
• Enrolment in pension schemes and other benefits including life cover and family protection.
• Counselling, EAP, 24/7 Virtual GP (via Livi), gym discounts, eyecare, generous leave, flexible working, and enhanced parental leave.
• Cycle-to-work, car leasing, home electronics, season ticket loans, and referral bonuses.
• Access to a Blue Light Card, Costco Membership, Discounts for Teachers, and more.
