Vision for Education supports a variety of mainstream & SEN primary and secondary schools in North Somerset and Somerset, and are recruiting Learning Support Assistants who are flexible with supporting children across all ages. A typical working day would start at 08:15am and finish at 15:30pm. The schools we work with are welcoming, inclusive, and supportive environments where staff work collaboratively to help every child succeed. Students' needs can vary from ASC, ADHD, ADD, challenging behaviours, learning difficulties, PMLD and Social Emotional Mental Health Needs. We will aim to find you work as close to home as possible.
We are looking for both full time and part time Learning Support Assistants who are happy to cover all year groups. If you have a specific preference of days you would like to work or age groups you would prefer to support, please let us know and we can meet your expectations. Permanent positions can be offered through Vision for Education on a temp-to-perm basis if the school feels you are the right fit, and this is something you wish to pursue yourself. The right candidate would ideally be a driver, but this is not essential, as long as you can easily commute to work as we are seeking highly reliable staff. Experience in the education or care sector is highly desired, but not essential.
Main Responsibilities:
- Supporting students to engage in a range of enrichment activities.
- Developing learning resources that are individualised to meet students' communication needs.
- Working closely with teachers to follow session plans and schemes of work and reporting on the progress of students to inform future planning.
- Utilising strategies from students' Positive Behaviour Support Plan to engage effectively in learning, whether on-site or in the community.
Pay & Hours: 14.24 p/h. Monday - Friday 08:30am - 15:30pm, term time only.
Vision for Education is committed to safeguarding children, young people and vulnerable adults. We take our responsibilities extremely seriously. All staff we register will undertake thorough interviewing and referencing checks and hold, or be prepared to undergo, an Enhanced DBS check that must be registered on the Update Service.
