Support Assistant Level 3 (Sept 2026)

The Governors of Gosforth Central Middle School are looking to appoint a Learning Support Assistant to start in September 2026.

The role is 37 hours per week, term time only plus 4 training days, and is initially for one year with a view to it being made permanent for the right candidate.

This is an opportunity to join a forward-thinking school, where pupils’ behaviour is consistently outstanding. We are part of the Gosforth Schools’ Trust where there are opportunities to build common approaches to supporting SEND pupils’ needs. We have vacancies due to increased numbers of pupils with high needs applying to our school.

Our staff work in first rate facilities with access to the newest technology. We are committed to staff well-being and our support team report feeling valued and well supported.

We would also welcome applicants with knowledge and experience of RRP (restorative and relational practice) and the PACE approach.

If you have any questions or wish to discuss the posts further, please contact Miss M Nicholson (Assistant Headteacher and SENCO) on 0191 285 1793 or email us at recruitment@gosforthcent.newcastle.sch.uk.
