Are you a proactive, adaptable, and naturally encouraging individual who wants to bridge the gap between a student's potential and their academic success?
Can you simplify complex ideas, boost a student's confidence, and create an inclusive learning environment?
Whether you are a graduate looking for hands-on classroom experience or an experienced mentor ready for a stable role, we want to hear from you.
We are seeking a dedicated Learning Support Assistant (LSA) for a full-time, long-term position within a well regarded SEN School. As an LSA, your role is beautifully dynamic: you will be a vital resource for the class teacher, focusing your energy on students who need that extra bit of scaffolding to thrive. From helping a small group master a tricky math concept to keeping an individual student focused during a busy lesson, you will be the driving force behind their daily progress.
Your Responsibilities
- Targeted Academic Scaffolding: Work alongside the class teacher to support individuals or small groups, breaking down complex tasks into manageable steps in subjects like English, Maths, and Science.
- Inclusion Champion: Support students with mild-to-moderate learning differences (such as Dyslexia, ADHD, or mild ASD), ensuring they can access the mainstream curriculum alongside their peers.
- Executive Function Support: Help students develop strong organisational skills, teaching them how to manage their time, organise their worksheets, and track their homework assignments.
- Confidence & Oracy Building: Guide students through classroom discussions, encouraging reluctant learners to voice their ideas and build their communication skills.
- Progress Observation: Keep track of how students are responding to different learning strategies, providing valuable feedback to the teacher to help shape future lesson plans.
- Resource Adaptation: Create or modify learning materials under the teacher's guidance-such as visual aids, vocabulary word banks, or simplified instructions-to suit different learning styles.
What You'll Bring to the Team
- A Proactive Mindset: The ability to "read the room" and step in to support a struggling student without needing constant direction.
- Excellent Communication: A warm, patient, and clear communication style that makes students feel safe to ask questions and make mistakes.
- Strong Foundational Literacy & Numeracy: A solid academic background (GCSE English and Maths at Grade C/4 or above) to confidently support students across the curriculum.
- Adaptability: The resilience to move between different subjects and age groups throughout the school day with a positive, "can-do" attitude.
- Compliance: An enhanced Child DBS on the Update Service (or a willingness to process a new one via Randstad).
Why Partner with Randstad?
- Competitive Pay: £90 - £95 per day
- Build Your Professional Portfolio: Access our library of free, certified CPD courses-including Safeguarding, Behaviour Management, and Dyslexia Support-to enhance your teaching credentials.
- The Perfect Career Launchpad: Gain the invaluable classroom hours and school-based references required for successful PGCE, School Direct, or Educational Psychology applications.
- Dedicated Local Advocacy: Work directly with Neeraj, your specialist consultant, who will guide you through the compliance process and match you with the right school environment.
