Having secured external funding through KCC’s Communities of Schools, we are seeking an enthusiastic, highly motivated and dedicated Learning Support Assistant to work closely with a Key Stage 3, Foundation Skills specialist pathway class. The role will involve working with students aged 11 - 14 who have a range of learning difficulties and/or disabilities, with many of the students having Education Health Care Plans.
