Learning Support Assistant Grade 2

From September 2024 we will have 13 students on roll with 8 Learning Support Assistants (LSAs). The roles of the LSAs are varied but consist of supporting teaching activities and assisting with the changing and personal care requirements of some of our students. We are looking to recruit an additional LSA to complement our outstanding team.

The work of an LSA often involves manual handling of students, candidates therefore need to be physically fit and capable of working co-operatively within a multi-disciplinary team. It is essential that candidates are ambitious for our learners, adaptable with a good sense of humour and have an ability to empathise and work positively with the students' individual needs.

Previous experience of working with adults with a physical disability would be an advantage but it is not essential, as a bespoke, robust training package will be provided. It is essential that you are willing to be trained to administer medication if necessary.
