Job Title: Learning Support Assistant
Location: Trent Acres, Kings Bromley, DE13 7HR
Salary: £23,638 per annum (not pro rata)
Hours: 40 hours per week | Monday to Friday
Contract: Permanent, Term Time Only
Start Date: February 2026
UK applicants only. This role does not offer sponsorship.
At Outcomes First Group, we put wellbeing first. That’s why we’re proud to be part of a 4-Day Working Week (4DWW) trial, where you work 80% of your hours for 100% of your pay*. Many of our schools have already adopted the 4DWW, with others preparing to introduce it once fully staffed—making now a great time to join #teamOFG.
About the Role
You will support pupils to overcome barriers to learning, celebrate their successes, and make a positive difference to their education and personal development.
Working alongside teachers, you will provide classroom support on a one-to-one and small group basis, help prepare learning resources, and contribute to a positive, inclusive learning environment.
You will:
Support pupils individually and in groups
Assist with lesson delivery and learning activities
Promote positive behaviour and a calm classroom environment
Prepare classroom resources and support school activities
Maintain records of pupil progress and behaviour
Work collaboratively with teachers, therapy staff, and pastoral teams
Supervise pupils during break and lunch times
What We're Looking For
We’re looking for someone who is:
Calm, engaging, and resilient.
Able to work well as part of a team.
Motivated by seeing pupils achieve and grow.
Open to learning new skills and approaches.
Experience working with children in an SEN/ASC environment would be an advantage, but it’s not essential. If you bring excellent support skills, the right personal qualities, and a genuine passion for helping pupils reach their full potential, we’ll provide you with the training and development you need to succeed.
These roles are also a fantastic fit for people with experience in customer-facing industries such as retail, hospitality, or leisure who are looking for a new career that’s both meaningful and rewarding.
