Learning Support ProfessionalEDV/2026/OBA/64503 in London

Located in Fulham, Ormiston Bridge Academy provides a caring environment based on integrity, mutual respect, and understanding. It seeks to reignite passion in education and aspiration. Each learner is treated as an individual and is supported to develop within an environment that develops a love of learning and the ability to create social and emotional skills fit for the world outside of education.

This is an incredible opportunity for a Learning Support Professional to make a difference and join a great team of people within a supportive, values-led organisation in the primary provision.

As a Learning Support Professional at Ormiston Bridge Academy, you will play a vital role in helping learners overcome barriers to their education and reach their full potential. You will provide tailored support within the classroom and beyond, working closely with teaching staff to adapt learning materials and approaches to meet the diverse needs of our students. By building positive relationships and offering guidance, encouragement, and practical strategies, you will help learners develop confidence, resilience, and the skills they need to engage fully with their education and prepare for future opportunities.

The main provision at Bridge Academy is for secondary learners, but we have a primary provision onsite. Our learners are at risk of or have been excluded from mainstream settings. We serve the Hammersmith & Fulham borough, and we believe that success for our young people comes because of our specialist approach; we are interested in activities that develop all young people’s capabilities; their potential for employability; their ability to have successful healthy relationships; their ability to make safe life choices, enhancing their quality of life and the realisation of their aspirations.

Our approach considers our young people’s education experiences to date, their social-emotional health, their mental health, their family situation and experiences, and their special educational needs (SEN). We work closely with professionals, families, and other practitioners to affect change in our young people’s lives, ensuring our work is holistic and therefore creates success by any means for all our children. We are proud of the work that we do, and the environment of our school is caring, supportive, and inclusive. We believe that through this approach we support our children, enhancing their quality of life and promoting the realisation of their aspirations.

Our vision is to create a school system where every child thrives, regardless of background. Our people are at the heart of our approach – they are our greatest asset. We exist to provide the best learning opportunities every day, in every school for every child. It is the people and teams in our Trust who make this a reality and ensure we have the greatest impact. If you join us at Ormiston, whatever your role, your work will have purpose and meaning.
