Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council,

Learning Support Assistant

Term time plus INSET Days (39 weeks per year)

£25,992 to £28,624 pro rota

Up to 32.5 hours per week (negotiable)

We are seeking to appoint an enthusiastic Learning Support Assistant to support the educational and social development of children with additional needs. This is a highly rewarding role and we would particularly welcome applications from colleagues with experience in special schools, though this is not essential. Training will be provided to the successful candidate who will have the chance to work in a supportive and friendly team who are committed to and passionate about making a difference to the lives of the young people in our care. We are really proud of all of our pupils who are a pleasure to work with.

You will either work 1:1 or support students from our Additional Resource Provisions and in mainstream classes. You will have the chance to develop positive relationships with the children your support as well as colleagues from across our school, working as part of a team who are committed to enabling children with wide ranging additional needs to make progress and achieve their full potential. Apprenticeship training is available.

At Langley, we prioritise positive relationships between staff and students. We are incredibly proud of the way our staff and young people work collaboratively to fulfil our school motto ‘to be the best we can be’. Langley is a wonderful place to work and learn. We are a committed, compassionate community united in our mission to being fully inclusive, celebrating diversity and promoting equality in all that we do. Every learner matters and matters equally at Langley. In our recent Ofsted Inspection Report from March 2023, inspectors described Langley as ‘an inclusive, welcoming school’ where ‘pupils behave well in lessons’ and there is a ‘calm and purposeful atmosphere around the school’. Our school’s fundamental principles focus on supporting, challenging and inspiring the whole Langley community ‘to be the best that we can be’. But these are not simply words on paper. Students, staff and governors genuinely give all they can, to bring those principles to life every day. Examinations are critically important, of course, and our students achieve superbly well in them, but we truly believe in developing young people to deal with the tests of their lifetime, not merely to endure a lifetime of tests. Everyone who visits us comments on the unique ethos of our school as well as our commitment to inclusivity.
