We are looking for a high-quality LSA to join our school family and live out our vision to see our children flourish, our culture transformed, and our community thrive. Our hope is that every child at St John's & St Peter's can uniquely contribute to the community and make it a place they are proud to call home.

This is a permanent post supporting pupils across our school, working closely with class teachers and our wider team to deliver high-quality learning support for every child. Day to day, you'll be:

  • Delivering 1:1 and small-group support, both in class and in withdrawal settings
  • Building strong, consistent relationships with pupils to support their social, emotional and academic development
  • Supporting pupils with routines, transitions and behaviour management
  • Observing and feeding back on pupil progress to the class teacher and SENDCo
  • Adapting resources and approaches to meet individual needs
  • Assisting with day-to-day classroom admin, including preparing resources and maintaining pupil records
  • Supporting safe, inclusive play and, where required, intimate care routines in line with school policy

Previous experience working with children in a school setting is essential. You'll need to be reliable, adaptable, and genuinely committed to helping children thrive. If that sounds like you, we'd love to hear from you.
