Some roles are hard to put into words. Not this one. As a Learning Support Assistant at Glebelands, you will work alongside students with special educational needs and disabilities - helping them access learning, build confidence and realise what they are truly capable of. It is patient, purposeful and genuinely rewarding work. And on the days when something clicks for a student who has been struggling? There is no better feeling. We're looking for someone warm, calm and dependable - a team player with a good eye for detail, strong literacy and numeracy skills, and the kind of quiet determination that makes a real difference in a classroom. Experience in education is welcome but not essential. What matters most is the right attitude, a genuine care for young people and a willingness to learn and grow in the role. This position would suit someone looking to take their first steps in education - including graduates or those taking a gap year who want their time to mean something. You'll thrive here if you:
- Genuinely enjoy working with and supporting young people
- Stay calm, patient and positive when things are challenging
- Work well as part of a team and take direction confidently
- Are organised, reliable and take pride in doing things properly
