**Job Title**:Learning Support Assistant

**Job Location**:Torpoint

**Salary**:Between £18,137 and £18984 per annum, based on working 37.5 hours per week, term time only (39.6 weeks per year)

**Contract Type**:Permanent

Every person deserves the chance to get an education. Some learners may need a little more help than others. That’s where you come in. As a learning Support Assistant, you’ll work with young people (Aged 16+) living with Autism, ADHD and other disabilities that impact their education.

At Oakwood Court, our curriculum isn’t like a mainstream college - We don’t focus as much on qualifications. The learning support you provide would be more focused on life skills, learning programmes, work experience, Maths and English skills, and other activities to enrich the learners’ experiences.

This college has between 5 and 7 learners in each class, so you’ll have the chance to really get to know the learners you support.

**A day in the life of a Learning Support Assistant will involve**:

- Assisting teaching staff in all classroom activities including planning, teaching and assessing learning.
- Working closely with students keeping them engaged, motivated and inspired to reach their full potential.
- Working either 1-2-1 with learners, or in small group settings to help them achieve their learning goals.

**To be a successful Learning Support Assistant, you’ll need**:

- Patience, compassion, and resilience - The learners you’ll support have Autism and ADHD, which may have an impact on their behaviour and communication needs.
- Great communication skills - Both verbal and written communication is important in this role as you’ll be speaking to a lot of different people at different times and need to be able to update the learners’ plans.
- A driving licence - Our learners love to go on fieldtrips. We need you to be able to drive them to where they need to go. We have the cars; you just need the licence.
- A genuine interest in a career focused on the education of people with Autism and other neurodiversity and disabilities.

**In return for your time, you’ll get**:

- ** Holidays -** You’ll only work term time, but you’ll get paid 5.6 weeks annual leave as well
- ** Pension scheme**- Our pension scheme is based on you paying in 5%, and us adding 3%.
- ** Learning & Development Opportunities** - We provide comprehensive learning opportunities for team members to develop themselves.
- ** Discounts **- You’ll have access to brilliant discounts through the Blue Light Card and our own employee benefits platform.
- ** Wellbeing Support** - Your wellbeing is always our priority. You’ll have access to mental health and wellbeing support. On top of this, our therapies team offers a monthly confidential check in clinic, and group reflective practice sessions.
- ** Cycle2Work **-The cycle to work scheme enables you to buy a bicycle at a discounted rate.
- ** DBS **- As this role required you to have an enhanced DBS carried out, we will cover this cost.

After 12 months service you’ll also be eligible for our Medicash scheme which covers a wide range of medical, health and wellbeing expenses (Including immediate access to a GP). You’ll get life assurance paid at x2 your annual salary, and even more high street discounts.
- At Phoenix Learning and Care, we pride ourselves on our diverse workforce, and ensuring we have an inclusive environment for all our team members. We remain committed to ensuring our teams can bring their true selves to work without risk or fear of discrimination._
