Your Role as an LSA

As a Learning Support Assistant, you are the link between the teacher's high-level plan and the student's individual understanding.

Differentiating Resources:

Take a standard lesson and "re-package" it-creating simplified worksheets, visual aids, or word banks-to suit the specific needs of the learners you support.

Small Group Leadership:

Take charge of "breakout" sessions, guiding 3-5 students through a specific task to ensure they aren't overwhelmed by the pace of the main classroom.

Use the "scaffold and fade" technique-providing heavy support initially and gradually stepping back as the student gains the confidence to work alone.

Progress Tracking:

Maintain clear records of student breakthroughs and hurdles, providing vital data to the Class Teacher and SENCO to help shape future lessons.

We value intelligence, initiative, and a "coaching" mindset. You are an ideal fit if you:

Are Academically Confident:

You have strong GCSEs (especially in English and Maths) and the ability to explain academic concepts clearly and creatively.

Are Proactive:

You don't wait to be told what to do; you can spot a struggling student and move in to offer support before they lose focus.

Have Relevant Experience:

Whether it's university tutoring, coaching, or previous school work, you have experience helping others learn.

You hold an enhanced DBS on the update service (or are willing to apply) and are 100% dedicated to Safeguarding.
