Are you looking to start a rewarding career in education this October? Whether you're a recent graduate, have experience working with children, or are simply passionate about supporting young people, Protocol Education has exciting Learning Support Assistant (LSA) opportunities available in welcoming primary schools across BS6.
As a Learning Support Assistant, you'll play a key role in helping pupils build confidence, overcome barriers to learning and reach their full potential. This is an excellent opportunity to gain valuable classroom experience if you're considering a future in teaching, educational psychology, SEND support or another child-focused profession.
The Role
Working alongside experienced teachers and support staff, you'll support pupils both in and out of the classroom through one-to-one and small group interventions. You'll help create an engaging, inclusive learning environment where every child has the opportunity to succeed.
No two days are the same. You may be supporting literacy and numeracy development, assisting children with SEND, encouraging positive behaviour, or helping pupils stay engaged and confident in their learning.
This is a fantastic opportunity to build practical classroom experience while making a genuine difference in children's education.
Key Responsibilities
- Support pupils on a one-to-one basis and in small groups across the primary curriculum.
- Encourage engagement, confidence and participation in learning.
- Assist teachers with classroom activities and lesson preparation.
- Help pupils develop literacy, numeracy, communication and social skills.
- Support children with a range of learning needs, including SEND.
- Promote positive behaviour and inclusive classroom environments.
- Build positive relationships with pupils, staff and parents where appropriate.
About You
We're looking for someone who is:
- Passionate about supporting children and helping them succeed.
- Interested in a career in education, teaching, SEND or child development.
- Calm, patient and approachable.
- A confident communicator with strong interpersonal skills.
- Adaptable, reliable and eager to learn.
- Comfortable working with children on a one-to-one basis and in small groups.
- Experienced in working with children, young people or vulnerable adults, although this is desirable rather than essential.
Why Work with Protocol Education?
- £92-£95 per day, paid weekly via PAYE.
- Flexible work to fit around your lifestyle and commitments.
- Guaranteed work agreements available for consistency and peace of mind.
- Ongoing CPD and training opportunities, including courses during school holidays.
- Dedicated support from your local Protocol Education consultant.
- A fantastic pathway into teaching and wider careers in education.
- Local placements with manageable travel times.
- £250 Refer-a-Friend bonus scheme.

To begin working with Protocol Education, you'll need:
- A valid passport and proof of your right to work in the UK.
- Two proofs of address (such as a driving licence, utility bill or council tax statement).
- An up-to-date CV covering the last 10 years of work or education history, with any gaps explained.
