Summary
We are seeking to appoint a dedicated Learning Support Assistant in our Senior School. Previous experience of supporting young people with special educational needs is highly desirable, but not essential.
Detail
We are looking for candidates ideally with a background in either Maths or Science, although not essential, who set themselves high personal standards and who are keen to develop professionally. The successful applicant will put the experience of our young people at the heart of their practice; someone eager to extend children’s learning and promote the spiritual, moral, cultural, emotional and social development of our students and the community life. Candidates must have a willingness to play a full part in the extra-curricular life of the College and be in sympathy with its Catholic ethos.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
