Some children don't need someone to do the work for them. They need someone who understands how they learn, celebrates their strengths, and helps them overcome the challenges that can sometimes get in the way.
Protocol Education is working with a welcoming and inclusive primary school in Bath to recruit a dedicated 1:1 Learning Support Assistant to support a young learner with ADHD on a full-time basis.
This nurturing school is passionate about creating an environment where every child feels valued, understood and equipped to succeed. With strong pastoral support, experienced staff and a child-centred approach, they're looking for an educator who can provide consistency, encouragement and positive guidance throughout the school day.
This is a highly rewarding opportunity to make a real difference to one child's educational journey while becoming an important part of a supportive school community.
The Role
Working closely with the class teacher, SEND team and wider school staff, you'll provide tailored one-to-one support that helps a pupil remain engaged, confident and successful in school.
You'll support the child with focus, organisation, emotional regulation and classroom participation while helping them develop greater independence and resilience.
