We are looking to appoint a Learning Support Assistant to work with the SENDCO and the Learning Support Team to provide support to pupils with special educational needs. The post holder will provide high quality support to allow pupils to access learning across the curriculum and promote their social and personal development.

The post holder will be based at St Benet Biscop Catholic Academy, Bedlington but may be expected to attend off site meetings and training where required.
St Benet Biscop is a great place to work and provides excellent job satisfaction, as it is a very supportive environment with an open and positive working culture. In our recent Ofsted inspection, in January 2023, we were graded as “good” in all areas. Ofsted highlighted:
- “There is a strong sense of community at St Benet Biscop.”
- “Pupils get along well with each other and with the staff.”
- “Lessons proceed calmly, and pupils engage well with their learning.”
- “Staff say senior leaders consider their workload and listen to their views.”
- “Staff at the school have a good understanding of safeguarding because they are well trained.”
This is a fantastic opportunity for someone to join our school community and we are looking for an energetic and passionate individual, with excellent organisational and interpersonal skills who will impact positively in this role. Applicants should clearly indicate in their supporting statement what they could bring to this role in terms of experience.
We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people. The successful candidate will be subject to an enhanced disclosure through the Disclosure and Barring Service and additional recruitment checks.
