3 weeks ago


Devon, United Kingdom Devon County Council Full time

Required to start as soon as possible but this start date is flexible for the right candidate.

Are you passionate that every young person should be given the best possible opportunities from their education? 

Are you determined that despite the significant impact trauma has on a child’s development that students life chances will be transformed through consistent care, strong relationships, and effective support?

School for Inspiring Talents is an independent therapeutic day school operating across two sites in the Southwest (Ashburton and Newton Abbot) supporting vulnerable students aged 5-16 who have experienced Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) or trauma. We are passionate about providing the appropriate nurture and educational strategies to allow our inspiring young people to truly flourish.

We are keen to appoint a knowledgeable, resilient, and thus specialist Learning Support Assistant who will work with many of our students delivering out of class intervention sessions focusing primarily on Literacy. 

We are looking for someone who will become a champion for the students with whom they work, being able to build nurturing relationships quickly, whilst encouraging students to engage with learning, breaking down barriers and challenges with high expectations and an understanding of SEND.

For whoever fulfils this role, consistency and reliability is key. We are looking for a skilled LSA who has a background in working with students with SEND or who has a proven track record working within an educational setting, confident in delivering targeted interventions. Training will be provided in Read Write Inc Phonics and Fresh Start – and the successful candidate will work closely alongside our class based SENDCo and Reading Lead. We would like for this candidate, over time to be upskilled in helping students with dyslexia, learning about precision teaching and other specific teaching strategies that can assist students with this learning need across the school. 

Life Chance is committed to transforming our students, and their families’ lives, which is why we have invested in the very best staff to support our mission. Benefiting from our own Multi-Disciplinary Team, this vacancy is a chance for an ambitious and passionate LSA, who constantly wants to develop their practice, with many training opportunities. As an organisation we place a strong emphasis on staff wellbeing and have an excellent employee benefit scheme. Ongoing clinical supervision is provided to all our staff as a sign of our commitment to this. 

We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and expect all staff to share this commitment. This role requires an enhanced DBS disclosure. Please note that in the case of a high volume of candidates applying only successful candidates that have been shortlisted to interview will be contacted. Visit our website and watch our film to see how we make a difference to young people’s lives. Visits to our school to meet our team and students are welcomed and encouraged, please contact us for more information.
