This full-time role is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced LSA or someone eager to develop their skills within a specialist SEND environment.

The successful Learning Support Assistant will become part of a highly supportive team in a well-resourced Maidstone school.

  • Onsite parking
  • A collaborative, supportive team environment

About the Role

The school is searching for a compassionate, proactive, and driven Learning Support Assistant who can inspire pupils and help them thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. As an LSA, you will work closely with the class teacher and wider multi-disciplinary team to deliver exceptional support and contribute to an outstanding learning experience.

Required Skills & Experience:

  • Previous experience working with SEND pupils
  • A genuine passion for supporting children with additional needs
  • A commitment to personal and professional development
  • Ability to work collaboratively with teachers and other support staff
  • A strong understanding of safeguarding and a dedication to pupil wellbeing

This is an excellent opportunity for a committed Learning Support Assistant to secure a long-term, potentially permanent role in a thriving specialist school.
