Job description

Do you have a passion for supporting children to overcome barriers, build confidence and achieve their full potential? Renaissance Education is looking for caring, enthusiastic and dedicated Learning Support Assistants to join our specialist therapeutic school, where every day presents an opportunity to make a genuine difference in the lives of children and young people with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND).

Working closely with teachers, therapists and the wider multidisciplinary team, you'll provide personalised support to pupils both in and out of the classroom, helping them to access learning, develop independence and achieve their individual Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) outcomes. You'll support children with a range of needs, including Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC), Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs, communication difficulties and sensory processing differences, adapting your approach to ensure every child feels safe, understood and able to succeed.

This is far more than a classroom support role. You'll build trusted relationships with pupils, contribute to behaviour and safeguarding strategies, support learning both on and off-site, and work collaboratively with colleagues and families to create an inclusive, nurturing environment where children can flourish. You'll be an integral part of our school community, helping to celebrate every achievement, no matter how small, and encouraging pupils to develop the confidence and resilience they need for lifelong success.

We're looking for individuals who are patient, compassionate and committed to inclusive education, with a genuine desire to help children reach their potential. In return, you'll join a supportive and ambitious organisation that invests in your professional development, provides ongoing training and values every member of its team. If you're ready to make a lasting impact and be part of a school where relationships, wellbeing and outstanding outcomes are at the heart of everything we do, we'd love to hear from you., Successful applicants will be required to demonstrate their commitment to safeguarding and child-centred practice throughout the recruitment process and during their employment with Renaissance Education.
