Exeter, United Kingdom Long-term Teachers Ltd Full time

Are you looking for a deeply rewarding role where your resilience and dedication can make a real difference? We have an exciting opportunity for a Learning Support Assistant at a remarkable special educational needs school in Exeter, providing exceptional education and care for boys with social, emotional and mental health needs.


 

About the role:


 

This role is based at a small, all-boys school, where you will support students across KS2 - KS4. As a learning support assistant, you’ll work closely with the classroom teacher, focusing on both the academic and emotional wellbeing of the students. The young people you’ll work with may have experienced trauma, have ADHD, autism, or other complex needs, making resilience a crucial quality for this role.


 

Who we’re looking for:


 

The ideal candidate for this position must be incredibly resilient and a ‘can do’ attitude. You’ll be working with students who have challenging behavioural needs and require a steady, supportive presence in their lives. This role is 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:


 

  • Resilient: 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 through the day, including lunch
  • 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 wellbeing 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. You will be working Monday to Friday, term time only.

If you have the resilience, dedication, and passion to make a meaningful impact in the lives of young people with SEMH needs, we strongly encourage you to apply.

Working with Long-term Teachers:


 

We are an independent agency working with Nurseries, Primary, Secondary and Special Schools. 


 

LTT was founded with the aim of creating a genuine, transparent and straightforward service to help candidates secure their next role. We place a huge emphasis on delivering an exceptional service where you will be supported, listened to and valued throughout.


 

Your dedicated consultant will invest time to understand your experience, skill-set and what your ideal role looks like. You will have frequent updates with your progress through compliance, applications for specific roles as well as receiving additional information on roles which we feel may be of interest to you. 


 

We are proud members of the REC and we have the highest standard of compliance. Working with us means you will get the very best support and guidance through the clearance process from your own specific point of contact from our in-house compliance team.


 

In addition you will receive: 


 

  • Guarantee Pay Scheme opportunities
  • Permanent job roles
  • Support and advice during the clearance and onboarding process
  • Working to Agency Workers Regulations
  • Interview preparation, advice and support
  • Statutory employment rights, such as; sick pay, holiday pay, maternity and paternity pay
