About The Role
Learning Support Assistant (ASD or SEMH) | Ty Trafle School | Swansea | Full-Time 34 Hours a Week | Permanent
Salary: £18,152.94 - £19,107.66 (Full Year Equivalent £21,587.28 - £22,733.22)
Would you love to work in a nurturing, therapeutic school where small class sizes mean you can make a real, lasting impact on young people’s lives?
Ty Trafle School is seeking dedicated and passionate Learning Support Assistants (LSAs) to join our specialist team. This is a fantastic opportunity to support children with complex needs and become part of a warm, values-led community where every child is supported to thrive.
Ty Trafle School is a specialist provision in Swansea, supporting pupils with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and Social, Emotional, and Mental Health (SEMH) needs, many of whom require a Trauma Informed approach. Based on your experience and interests, you are welcome to express a preference for the pathway you feel most connected to — ASD or SEMH.
With small class groups, a therapeutic environment, and a highly supportive multi-disciplinary team, Ty Trafle provides a setting where both pupils and staff are able to grow, learn, and achieve.
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.
Your Role as a Learning Support Assistant
- Support teaching staff with planning, delivering, and assessing meaningful learning activities.
- Provide personalised support to pupils with ASD or SEMH needs, in both small group and 1:1 contexts.

- Contribute to creating a safe, consistent, and inclusive learning environment.
What We’re Looking For
- Caring, resilient, and enthusiastic individuals with a strong desire to make a difference.
