The salary is on Scale G of the Support Staff pay scale, offering £25,483 (G17) up to £27,284 (G19) depending on qualifications and experience.
As a Learning Support Assistant (LSA) within our Apprenticeships provision, you will play a vital role in helping apprentices across our programmes fully access their curriculum, develop key skills and achieve their potential.
