Small enough to care, big enough to make a positive impact
The Seaton Valley Federation of Schools is committed to delivering high-quality, inclusive education for all students. As part of our ongoing mission to support students with Special Educational Needs and/or Disabilities (SEND), we are seeking to appoint a caring, motivated and flexible Learning Support Assistant to join our team.
Working under the direction of the SENCo, this role offers a rewarding opportunity to make a real difference in our student’s educational journey, supporting them to achieve their individual targets and to access a high-quality, inclusive curriculum. You will be passionate about helping every student reach their full potential and committed to fostering a positive learning environment.
Ideally, you will have achieved 5 GCSEs at grades A*–C (or equivalent), including English and Maths. A Teaching Assistant or Special Needs Support qualification is preferred. We welcome applications from those with experience as well as individuals looking to begin their career in educational support and are eager to learn and develop professionally.
The role will be working five days per week, term-time plus one training day at the start of the school year. It is expected that your initial working hours will be Monday and Friday 9am to 3.30pm, with a 30 minute lunch break each day, although this working pattern may change from time to time to meet the operational needs of the schools.
As a relatively small school, Whytrig benefits from a genuine sense of community. Behaviour across the school is consistently good, with the vast majority of students embracing our core expectations: to be ready, respectful, and safe. These values are embedded in daily school life and contribute to a calm and purposeful learning environment.
We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expect all staff to share this commitment. An enhanced criminal records check is required for this post.
