About the Role
Looking for a Rewarding Career Where Your Support Can Change a Young Person's Life? Are you caring, enthusiastic and great at building relationships? Do you enjoy helping others overcome challenges, develop confidence and achieve things they never thought possible?
At Kestrel House School, we're looking for a dedicated and compassionate Learning Support Assistant to join our team and help create a positive, encouraging environment where every student feels valued and supported.
This is more than just helping in the classroom. You'll become a trusted role model, a source of encouragement and someone who celebrates every achievement, no matter how small.
From helping a student understand something new to supporting them through a difficult moment, you'll play an important part in their learning, wellbeing and personal development.
You don't need previous experience in a specialist school to apply. If you've worked in education, childcare, care, youth work, coaching or another people-focused role, you may already have many of the skills we're looking for.
And with permanent, term-time-only working, you'll have more time to enjoy the things you love outside of work.
What You’ll Be Doing
• Support students in lessons, helping them engage, participate and achieve
• Build positive, trusting relationships and act as a consistent role model
• Support individual learning programmes and specialist approaches
• Work alongside teachers, therapists and other professionals to meet students’ needs
• Observe, record and share information about student progress and development
• Support assessments, target setting, reviews and relevant documentation
• Support students during activities, mealtimes, recreation and educational visits
• Contribute to a positive school culture where every achievement matters
Who We’re Looking For
You don’t need to have worked in a specialist school before. What matters most is your attitude, resilience and commitment to making a difference.
We’re looking for someone who is:
• GCSE English and Maths or equivalent is required
• Caring, patient and genuinely passionate about supporting young people
• Resilient and able to remain calm and positive when faced with challenges
• A confident communicator and supportive team player
• Reliable, professional and able to maintain confidentiality
• Committed to helping every student reach their potential
