About the Role

At Crookhey Hall School , we're looking for a dedicated and compassionate Learning Support Assistant to help students overcome barriers, build confidence, and achieve outcomes they never thought possible.

This isn't just a classroom-based role. It's an opportunity to become a trusted adult in a young person's life, someone who provides encouragement, stability and support when it's needed most.

Every day is different. You might be helping a student engage in learning, supporting them through a challenging moment, developing life skills, or celebrating a breakthrough that others may have thought impossible. The progress may be big or small, but every step forward matters.

If you're patient, resilient, and passionate about making a genuine difference, this could be the career opportunity you've been looking for.

What You'll Be Doing

• Supporting students in class, in small groups and on a 1:1 basis to help them achieve their individual goals.

• Building positive, trusting relationships that help students feel safe, valued and ready to learn.

• Working alongside teachers and specialists to deliver personalised support and learning programmes.

• Encouraging independence, confidence, communication skills and personal development.

• Providing calm, consistent support during challenging situations and helping students regulate emotions.

• Supporting educational visits, enrichment activities and learning beyond the classroom.

• Celebrating progress and helping create a positive environment where every student can succeed.

Who We’re Looking For

You don’t need to have worked in a specialist school before. You might already work in education, or have transferable experience from care, support work, youth work, coaching, residential care or another people-focused environment.

What matters most is that you have the patience, resilience and commitment to build positive relationships with young people.

• GCSE English and Maths, or equivalent required.

• A caring, patient and positive approach to supporting young people.

• The resilience to remain calm and consistent when situations become challenging.

• Strong communication skills and the ability to work effectively as part of a team.

• Reliability, professionalism and an understanding of confidentiality.

• A willingness to learn, develop and adapt your approach around individual student needs.

• A genuine commitment to helping every young person achieve their potential.

• Driving Licence required.

Whatever your role, joining OFG Education means contributing to our shared ambition: empowering every student to success through truly personalised education.
