Learning Support Assistant - Specialist Alternative Provision Stratford, London | £100-£120 per day | Full-time | Immediate Start
About the setting
The provision sits at the heart of Stratofrd- one of London's most diverse and forward-thinking boroughs - and works with young people who have often had difficult or damaging experiences in traditional education. The focus is on rebuilding trust, emotional safety and a love of learning, using trauma-informed, person-centred approaches delivered by a skilled multidisciplinary team. Class sizes are small, support is personalised, and the progress pupils make is genuinely significant.
What you will be doing
- Providing 1:1 and small group support to pupils with anxiety, EBSA, autism and additional learning needs
- Building therapeutic, trusting relationships with young people who may initially resist engagement with adults
- Supporting emotional regulation and helping pupils manage transitions, routines and social situations
- Implementing individual support plans in collaboration with teachers, therapists and external professionals
- Encouraging communication, independence and confidence through patience and consistency
- Using trauma-informed and person-centred strategies to help pupils gradually re-engage with learning
Why this role is ideal for your career
Working in this setting gives you direct, documented experience across areas central to careers in psychology, therapy and SEND - including supporting children with EBSA and anxiety, understanding how trauma shapes behaviour and learning, applying person-centred approaches in a real educational context, and contributing to multi-agency working alongside teachers, therapists and clinical professionals.
