Learning Support Assistant – Be the Difference Every Day
Some pupils need a little extra support. You bring the calm, the care, and the consistency.
We’re working with a friendly and inclusive primary school in Sunderland who are looking for a brilliant Learning Support Assistant to join their team. This role is all about making learning accessible—whether that’s through 1:1 support, small group work, or just being that friendly face who helps the day go smoothly.
If you’ve got experience in a school, nursery or care setting—or you just get how to support children who need that extra bit of help—this could be the perfect fit.
What you’ll be doing:
-
Providing 1:1 or small group support to pupils who need a boost
-
Helping with reading, writing, numeracy, and confidence building
-
Working closely with teachers and SEN staff to meet individual needs
-
Creating a positive, calm, and encouraging space for learning
What we’re looking for:
-
Experience working with children or young people
-
A patient, empathetic approach and strong communication skills
-
Bonus if you’ve supported SEND pupils, but not essential
-
Someone reliable, caring, and ready to muck in wherever needed
Why this role matters:
Because sometimes, it’s your steady presence that turns a tricky day into a great one. You might not have the loudest voice in the room—but you’ll be the one they remember.
What Protocol Education offers:
-
Weekly pay through PAYE – no umbrella drama
-
FREE access to our CPD Academy (SEN, behaviour, Thrive & more)
-
Friendly local consultant who knows the Sunderland schools inside-out
-
A real opportunity to grow and feel part of something meaningful
