Exeter, Devon, United Kingdom Long-term Teachers Ltd Full time

About the Role

Long-term Teachers Ltd is seeking a dedicated Learning Support Assistant to join our team at a special educational needs school in Exeter. This role focuses on providing exceptional education and care for boys with social, emotional, and mental health needs (SEMH). You will work closely with classroom teachers across Key Stages 2 and 4, supporting both the academic and emotional well-being of these students.

Who We're Looking For

The ideal candidate possesses exceptional resilience and a 'can-do' attitude. You will be working with students who may have experienced trauma, ADHD, autism, or other complex needs. This role requires a steady, supportive presence in their lives. It's not just about supporting learning; it's about being a consistent, positive force for these young people who may not have had the best start in life.

Key Qualities

  • Resilience: You must have the strength and determination to manage challenging situations calmly and effectively.
  • Relational Approach: Build strong, trusting relationships with students to support their development.
  • Excellent Behaviour Management: Maintain a positive and controlled classroom environment.
  • Good Work Ethic: Be prepared to engage fully with the students, supervising them throughout the day, including lunch breaks.
  • Sense of Humour: A light-hearted approach can often help in building rapport and easing difficult moments.
  • Boundaries: Set and maintain clear, consistent boundaries with students.
  • Adaptability: Be ready to adjust to changes at short notice and handle unexpected situations with ease.

What We Offer

Our school is committed to supporting the well-being of all staff. You'll receive full training and ongoing support, including daily safeguarding meetings and access to counselling services. You'll be part of a close-knit, friendly, and supportive team that values collaboration and mutual support.

Previous experience in education is desirable but not essential. A background in care settings can provide a strong foundation for success in this role.
