Learning Support Assistant - About the candidate:

I am seeking to appoint an outstanding SEN LSA for ad hoc supply initially, with the potential to turn in to a long-term job at an outstanding Basildon SEN school. You will work with students who have complex learning difficulties and benefit from smaller classes, a personalised curriculum and additional support. These children are working at lower levels than their peers and need support in developing their communication skills. The students need to be coaxed into interacting with the outside world and as an LSA you will need to set clear boundaries, provide lots of positive reinforcement, be patience and understanding. The work can be challenging as pupils do struggle to express themselves and this can result in frustrations.

Learning Support Assistant - Additional Benefits:

• Great pay rates
• A calm, purposeful and well-resourced working environment
• Friendly Management Team

Learning Support Assistant - Skills and experience:

• Recent UK TA experience
• NVQ L2/3 Supporting Teaching & Learning in Schools
• Experience supporting learners with autism and complex learning difficulties

All of our supply staff are paid on a PAYE basis, so you can rest assured that you're paying the right level of Tax and National Insurance and there's no messing around with admin charges coming out of your hard-earned cash.
