Post 16 Learning Support Assistant - Immediate Start

Post 16 Learning Support Assistant Needed Now!

I am currently recruiting for a Special Educational Needs College in the Sutton Coldfield area that is looking to appoint a new SEND support staff with Autism Complex Needs & Learning Difficulties.

The college is looking for a LSA who can join an existing team to support post 16 students and their vocational courses and life skills. They are seeking people that have experience of working with individuals with SEMH & SEND needs, including Autism, ADHD and communication difficulties. As a Learning Support Assistant (care or residential support experience will be considered), you will be working alongside the class teacher and other staff supporting pupils with everyday college life, however, there will be times that you will need to be supporting children on a one to one and small groups basis. You will be a source of support for pupils and will ensure they are motivated, happy, safe and engaged.

The school caters for children with a wide range of needs including Autism, MLD, PMLD, SLD & SEMH complex needs. The school caters for children from KS1 to KS3.

I have worked with this provision for some time and they truly care about their students and staff. It is a bespoke setting in a semi rural area and they have many facilities for their young learners. There are many support staff employed in the school and everyone has an excellent work ethic.
