Learning Support Assistant

(Sports Experience Desirable)
Beech Hall School

Are you passionate about making a real difference in the lives of young people? Beech Hall School is looking for a dedicated Learning Support Assistant to join our vibrant and inclusive community. This is a full-time role where you’ll play a vital part in supporting pupils with a range of needs, including autism, dyslexia, and ADHD.

We’re seeking someone who brings energy, empathy, and expertise to the classroom. You’ll work closely with our Enhanced Learning team and teaching staff to create an environment where every pupil can thrive—whether in class, small groups, or one-to-one sessions. Your role is about empowering learners, promoting independence, and building confidence, not simply providing support. Above all, it’s about forming strong, trusting relationships that unlock potential.

What You’ll Do

• Act as a keyworker for pupils with SEND, guiding their academic and personal development.
• Prepare tailored learning resources and deliver targeted interventions.
• Implement strategies from external specialists and reflect on best practice.
• Support classroom learning and contribute to school-focused plans.
• Collaborate with colleagues to ensure consistent, high-quality provision.
• Maintain accurate records and uphold safeguarding standards.

What We’re Looking For

• Experience working with vulnerable learners and pupils with SEND.
• Strong understanding of building positive relationships and promoting inclusion.
• GCSEs (or equivalent) in English and Maths (Grade C or above).
• Confident ICT skills (Word, Excel) and familiarity with assistive technology.
• Sports experience is highly desirable to enrich our pupils’ learning journey.

Why Join Beech Hall?

• Opportunities for professional growth and development.
• The chance to make a lasting impact on pupils’ lives every single day.

We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and expect all staff to share this commitment. The successful candidate will be subject to an enhanced DBS check and social media screening.
