East Dundry, United Kingdom TeacherActive Full time

TeacherActive is proud to be working with a fantastic SEND school in Bristol, supporting their recruitment for a SEND Learning Support Assistant (SEND LSA). The school is dedicated to helping every pupil reach their full potential, focusing not only on academic progress but also on developing essential emotional, social, and behavioural skills.

This creative and inclusive setting provides a highly nurturing environment with small class sizes and a strong emphasis on individualised learning. The team is seeking a compassionate and proactive Learning Support Assistant to join them on a short-term basis, with the potential for this to develop into a long-term role for the right person. This position is ideal for someone with a background in care, youth work, or community support who understands the importance of patience, empathy, and positive relationships in helping young people thrive.

The successful SEND Learning Support Assistant will be working closely with students aged 4–19 with a range of additional needs, including ASD, SEMH, SLD, PMLD, and communication difficulties. You’ll support pupils both 1:1 and in small groups, creating a safe and engaging space where every learner feels valued and encouraged. You’ll bring a calm, understanding approach, offering practical assistance and emotional reassurance to help students build confidence, independence, and trust. In return, you’ll join a dedicated and supportive team, with access to professional development, flexible working arrangements, and the opportunity to make a genuine difference every day.

The successful SEND Learning Support Assistant will:

Be patient, calm, and empathetic in all interactions

Be open to learning and committed to making a positive impact on pupils’ lives

Be confident supporting children with additional or complex needs

Be willing to assist with personal care and moving & handling when required

Build strong relationships with pupils, promoting trust and independence

Driving is highly desirable due to the location and nature of the role

Experience in an education or care setting is a bonus, but not essential

In return for your hard work, you can expect to receive:

A dedicated team of consultants available 24/7 to support you through our simple onboarding process

Market-leading rates of pay and our Guaranteed Payment Scheme (T&Cs apply)

Access to CPD Courses and certificates through the My-Progression platform

The TeacherActive Referral Scheme – earn up to £100 when you refer a friend (T&Cs apply)

All staff are paid on a PAYE basis, ensuring you pay the right level of Tax and National Insurance — no admin fees or hidden deductions
