Learning Support Assistant

(22 hours per week, Monday to Thursday, term time only)

At Roedean, we are dedicated to providing a world-class education that inspires and empowers girls aged 11-18 to achieve their full potential. Our stunning cliff-top location overlooking the sea, combined with our rich heritage and commitment to academic excellence, makes Roedean a truly unique and inspiring place to learn and work. We are proud of our inclusive and supportive community where every student is encouraged to pursue their passions and develop the skills they need for future success.

The Learning Support Assistant is an integral member of the Learning Support team, working closely with pupils who have additional learning needs and/or SEND. The postholder will support pupils in accessing the curriculum, participating fully in school life and developing increasing independence, confidence and self‑advocacy as learners. The role will involve supporting individual pupils and small groups in collaboration with teaching staff and the wider Learning Support team.

The successful candidate will hold GCSE qualifications (or equivalent) in English and Maths at Grade C/4 or above. A qualification in Supporting Teaching and Learning, Education, SEND or a related field would be advantageous. We are looking for someone who is dedicated to removing barriers to learning while promoting pupil autonomy, confidence and self‑advocacy.

Roedean is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. An enhanced DBS check is required for all successful applicants.

The post is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974. The School is therefore permitted to ask job applicants to declare all convictions and cautions on a self‑declaration form in advance of attending an interview (including those which are "spent" unless they are "protected" under the DBS filtering rules) in order to assess their suitability to work with children.

Closing date for applications: 9 AM, Monday 9 November 2026.

Due to the need to appoint quickly we reserve the right to interview and appoint at any time.

Previous applicants need not apply.
