Are you an experienced Learning Support Assistant looking for a rewarding opportunity where you can make a genuine difference to the lives of children and young people? Classroom Support is currently recruiting for multiple Learning Support Assistants to join a welcoming and supportive specialist SEN school in the Tonbridge area.
We are looking for enthusiastic, patient and dedicated individuals with experience supporting children and young people with Special Educational Needs. Whether you have experience supporting students with Autism, ADHD, SEMH, hearing impairments or other additional learning needs, we would love to hear from you.
BSL experience and qualifications are advantageous but are not essential for all positions. Candidates holding BSL Level 2 or above will be particularly attractive for roles supporting students with hearing impairments, but we are equally keen to hear from experienced SEN Learning Support Assistants without BSL qualifications.
These are long-term opportunities, initially offered on an agency supply basis, with the potential for permanent positions for the right candidates.
What does the role involve? Working closely with teachers and other support staff to deliver consistent and effective support.
Previous experience working with children or young people with Special Educational Needs. Please note that BSL is not essential for all vacancies. We welcome applications from experienced SEN Teaching Assistants and Learning Support Assistants who have strong SEN experience but no formal BSL qualifications.
Valuable experience working with students with a wide range of additional needs.
