The Opportunity
A welcoming Tower Hamlets primary school is looking for a Learning Support Assistant to join its support team from November.
This is a varied role for someone who wants to play an active part in helping pupils overcome barriers to learning. You'll work across the classroom and through targeted support sessions, working closely with class teachers and the school's SENCO.

The school is particularly interested in candidates who are:
Patient - able to remain calm and consistent when pupils find learning challenging.
Proactive - willing to identify where a child needs help rather than waiting to be asked.
Relationship-focused - able to establish trust while maintaining appropriate boundaries.

Experience working with SEND, ASD, ADHD, SEMH or learning difficulties would be advantageous.
