Are you passionate about supporting children with additional needs and helping them reach their full potential?

We are working with a fantastic SEND school in the Upminster/Rainham area that is looking to appoint a dedicated and compassionate Learning Support Assistant to join their specialist team immediately.

The school supports pupils with a wide range of needs, including Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC), communication and interaction difficulties, medical syndromes, and physical and sensory needs. The school provides a nurturing, inclusive environment where every pupil receives tailored support to help them access learning, develop independence, and achieve their individual goals.

As a Learning Support Assistant, you will work closely with teachers and therapists to support pupils both in and out of the classroom. You may provide 1:1 support or work with small groups, helping students with their communication, social development, sensory regulation, and engagement in learning activities.

This is a rewarding opportunity to join a highly supportive school where you can make a genuine difference to the lives of children with complex additional needs.
