Are you an experienced Learning Support Assistant or looking to build your experience in a primary school setting?
Do you enjoy supporting children with SEN on a one-to-one or small group basis?
Are you patient, reliable, and keen to make a real difference in the classroom?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I’m Dan, and I have been working closely with primary school settings for the past two years, supporting them with all aspects of their recruitment. I’m currently supporting a welcoming primary school in Basildon who are looking to appoint an experienced Learning Support Assistant, who will play an important role in supporting pupils during their early academic journey.
The Learning Support Assistant role involves working closely with a pupil with additional needs on a one to one basis, helping them access learning, build confidence, and feel settled in school. You’ll be working alongside the class teacher and wider team to support learning, routines, and emotional wellbeing throughout the day.
The successful Learning Support Assistant will have:
• Experience working with children, ideally within a primary or SEN setting
• A calm, patient, and supportive approach
• Confidence supporting pupils one to one
• Strong communication skills and a team-focused attitude
• Enhanced DBS on the update service, or willingness to apply for one
• Understanding of behaviour support and emotional regulation (desired)
In return, you can expect:
• A dedicated team of consultants available 24/7 to support you through an easy onboarding process
• Access to our Guaranteed Payment Scheme (T&Cs apply)
• CPD courses and certificates through the My-Progression channel
• Excellent rates of pay
• TeacherActive Referral Scheme – earn up to £100 when you refer a friend (T&Cs apply)
All staff are paid on a PAYE basis, so you can be confident your tax and National Insurance are handled correctly, with no hidden admin charges.
