Job Description
We are looking for a calm, compassionate, and committed Learning Support Assistant (LSA) to provide 1:1 support for a primary-aged pupil at our inclusive and nurturing school in Bridgwater. The pupil requires consistent, personalised support to help with communication challenges and emotional regulation, both in and out of the classroom.
This is a rewarding opportunity to make a real impact by helping a young learner feel secure, understood, and confident in their learning environment.
Key Responsibilities
- Provide 1:1 support tailored to the pupil’s communication and emotional needs throughout the school day.
- Build a trusting, positive relationship to encourage engagement, resilience, and self-esteem.
- Use visual aids, simplified language, or alternative communication strategies where appropriate.
- Help the pupil understand and manage emotions, transitions, and changes to routine.
- Work closely with the class teacher, SENDCo, and external professionals to deliver consistent support.
- Monitor progress and behaviours, contributing to reviews and support planning.
- Maintain a safe, inclusive, and encouraging learning environment.
What We’re Looking For
- Experience working with children with additional needs, particularly around communication or SEMH (Social, Emotional, and Mental Health).
- A patient and empathetic approach to behaviour and learning support.
- Good communication and teamworking skills.
- A commitment to supporting the wellbeing and inclusion of every child.
