Jobbeschreibung

SEND Learning Support Assistant – Mainstream Secondary – Dagenham £100–£115 per day | Full-Time | Long-Term | Start After October Half Term

Axcis Education is recruiting a confident and proactive SEND Learning Support Assistant to join a large mainstream secondary school in Dagenham, supporting students across KS3, KS4 and potentially Sixth Form.

The school has an established Student Development and SEND team, including a dedicated provision for students with Autism, alongside support for pupils with ADHD, SEMH, dyslexia, speech and language needs and other barriers to learning.

Most support takes place within mainstream lessons, with additional 1:1 and small-group intervention where appropriate.

This role would particularly suit someone who is confident working with teenagers and understands how to make learning more accessible without creating dependency.

The school is looking for someone personable, switched-on and able to work collaboratively with subject teachers across a busy secondary environment.

About the Role

• Supporting students across KS3 and KS4 within mainstream lessons
• Working with pupils with Autism, ADHD, SEMH, dyslexia and additional learning needs
• Supporting students within and alongside the school’s dedicated ASD provision
• Providing a mixture of classroom, 1:1 and small-group support
• Helping students access lessons across English, Maths, Science, Humanities and other curriculum subjects
• Supporting pupils with organisation, focus, communication and independence
• Delivering targeted interventions where required
• Supporting students against EHCP outcomes and individual SEND targets
• Working closely with subject teachers, SEND staff and the wider inclusion and pastoral team
• Helping students become increasingly confident managing their own learning

About You

We would particularly like to hear from candidates who:

• Have previous experience as a Learning Support Assistant, SEND TA or secondary support worker
• Are confident supporting secondary-aged students
• Have experience with Autism – particularly desirable
• Have previous school-based SEND experience – strongly preferred
• Can support students academically across a range of subjects
• Understand when a pupil needs help and when they should be encouraged to work independently
• Can build positive relationships while maintaining clear professional boundaries
• Are proactive, reliable and confident working within a large school
• Can commit to a full-time, long-term position
• A CACHE Level 2 or Level 3 qualification would be an advantage, although relevant secondary SEND experience is more important.

The School & Location

The role is based within a large secondary school and Sixth Form in Dagenham, with a well-established SEND, inclusion and behaviour structure. The school supports pupils with SEND predominantly through the mainstream curriculum, alongside targeted intervention and a dedicated Autism provision. The school is easily accessible from Barking, Dagenham, Chadwell Heath, Romford and surrounding East London areas.
