SEND Learning Support Assistant – Year 6 EOTAS Provision
Location: Wokingham, Berkshire
Hours: 10 hours per week (days and timings flexible)
Contract: Part-Time | Long-Term – Ongoing for the full academic year
Start Date: September 2026
Quantum Scholars are currently recruiting for an experienced and compassionate Learning Support Assistant (LSA) to provide 1:1 support to a Year 6 pupil who is accessing an Education Otherwise Than at School (EOTAS) provision.
This is a rewarding opportunity for an experienced education professional who is passionate about supporting young people with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) and helping them to engage with learning in a safe, supportive and personalised environment.
About The Role
This is not a school-based position. The successful candidate will work directly with the pupil within their home environment, providing consistent 1:1 support as part of their personalised EOTAS programme.
You will work closely with the pupil, their family and the wider education team to support their learning, development and engagement.
The Role Will Involve
- Providing dedicated 1:1 support to a Year 6 pupil with SEND.
- Supporting the pupil to access and engage with their personalised learning programme.
- Helping to develop confidence, independence and positive learning behaviours.
- Adapting activities and approaches to meet the pupil’s individual needs.
- Providing encouragement and reassurance where required.
- Building a positive, trusting and consistent relationship with the pupil.
- Supporting the pupil’s wider social, emotional and educational development.
- Maintaining clear communication with parents/carers and relevant professionals.
- Creating a calm, structured and positive learning environment within the home.
