Graduate Opportunity | Secondary School | Full-Time
Principal Education are looking for an enthusiastic, empathetic and driven Learning Support Assistant (LSA) to join a secondary school from September.
This is an excellent opportunity for a recent graduate or postgraduate who is considering a future career in teaching, psychology, therapy, education, pastoral support or a related field.

The Role
As a Learning Support Assistant, You Will

- Support students with a range of learning needs, helping them access the curriculum and achieve their potential.
- Build positive, trusting and professional relationships with students.
- Work alongside teachers to support students effectively within the classroom.
- Help students develop their literacy, numeracy, confidence and independent learning skills.
- Support bilingual and EAL students, developing an awareness of individual language profiles and adapting your approach to help students access learning.
- Encourage students to engage positively with their education and develop greater independence.
- Remain calm, patient and empathetic when supporting students who may require additional guidance.
- Be flexible and willing to work across different subjects and GCSE classes.
- Contribute positively to the wider school environment and work collaboratively with teaching and support staff.
