Leigh, Wigan, United Kingdom The Holden School Full time

The Holden School is a specialist day school catering for pupils with a wide range of needs. Our dedicated team works together to ensure successful outcomes for pupils who often arrive at the school with a troubled view of education and life.

We are a Therapeutic Led Trauma Informed School providing individualised curriculums for our young people supported by our Class Teams, our Wellbeing Team and our own Therapists.

As a Learning Support Assistant, you will connect directly with the brilliant pupils and young people we care for, helping to make sure they get the very best from their education.

You will help prepare learning materials and run classroom activities, with plenty of hands-on experience and some supervision too. You will take responsibility for their emotional and physical needs, supporting them to develop as individuals and engage with the world.

Supporting pupils with complex Social Emotional Mental Health (SEMH) needs and Autism (ASC) is important and rewarding work, and you will benefit from the tremendous support offered by our hugely experienced teams.

Our schools are built on great teamwork and mutual support. If you enjoy working as part of a dedicated team, sharing knowledge, experience and learning, you will thrive in this role.

We believe that it is extremely important that you feel heard and valued. Our Great Place to Work Survey results show that:

  • 86% of staff said that they are treated as a full member of the team regardless of their position.
  • 80% agree that management shows a sincere interest in them as a person, not just an employee.
  • 80% said they feel they make a difference here.
  • 80% of staff said they are proud to tell others they work here.
  • 80% believe that people care about each other here.
  • 91% of team members said their work has special meaning: this is not "just a job".
  • 89% said that when you join the organisation, you are made to feel welcome.
  • 89% said that they get empathy and support from their manager/supervisor when needed.
  • 88% agree that management recognises honest mistakes as part of doing business.

We offer a range of benefits to support your health and wellbeing, including life assurance, a pension scheme, and access to a wide range of mental health support services and physical health checks.

We are committed to the safeguarding and promoting the welfare of pupils and young people. All applicants will be subject to social media checks and successful applicants to a fully enhanced DBS.

We are an equal opportunities employer and welcome applications from all qualified candidates.
