Are you passionate about helping children thrive and reach their full potential? Do you believe that every child deserves the opportunity to succeed, feel included, and enjoy learning? If so, we would love to hear from you.
Oasis Academy Long Cross is seeking a caring, committed, and enthusiastic Learning Support Assistant to join our dedicated team for 22 hours per week. This is a rewarding opportunity to make a real difference in the lives of children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND), supporting them to access learning and flourish within their mainstream classroom environment.
About The Role
Working closely with teachers, SEND professionals, and other support staff, you will play a key role in helping pupils engage successfully with their learning, develop confidence, and achieve their individual goals. You will provide tailored support that enables children to participate fully in school life while fostering independence and resilience.
