Learning Support Assistant
Role Overview
The pupils, staff, and governors of St Mary’s Catholic Primary School are seeking to appoint a suitably qualified and experienced learning support assistant to work in Early Years and Key Stage 1.
About the Role
We are looking for people who have an understanding of how children learn in Early Years and Key Stage 1 and someone who has a good understanding of inclusion and supporting pupils with a range of special educational needs.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
