We are looking to appoint an enthusiastic and effective Learning Support Assistant (LSA) to work as a one‑to‑one support for a exceptionally wonderful young child with SEND needs, due to start with us in September in Reception class, supporting their learning, independence and inclusion within a high‑achieving school community. Experience of working with cerebral palsy would be an advantage.

We want the very best for all our children and we place them at the centre of all that we do. Recently, we had a very positive Ofsted outcome which reflects our team and family ethic and the high standards we have for the children and for ourselves.
We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the wellbeing of our children and all staff share this commitment. This post will be subject to an enhanced DBS Disclosure, suitable references and a pre‑employment medical check.
