Are you an academically minded, supportive individual with a knack for making difficult concepts 'click'? Join our network as a Learning Support Assistant and help students overcome learning barriers to reach their full potential. Bridging the Gap: Impact Through Intervention. We are seeking Learning Support Assistants (LSAs) to work across Primary and Secondary settings. Unlike a general assistant, your role is focused on learning outcomes-identifying where a student is struggling and providing the specific scaffolding, tools, and encouragement they need to succeed.
Job Responsibility
Targeted Academic Support: Lead small group interventions in Literacy and Numeracy, helping students catch up or keep pace with the curriculum
The 'How-To' Specialist: Teach students how to learn, focusing on organisation, memory techniques, and confidence-building
Differentiating Resources: Take a standard lesson and 're-package' it-creating simplified worksheets, visual aids, or word banks-to suit the specific needs of the learners you support
Small Group Leadership: Take charge of 'breakout' sessions, guiding 3-5 students through a specific task to ensure they aren't overwhelmed by the pace of the main classroom
Promoting Independence: Use the 'scaffold and fade' technique-providing heavy support initially and gradually stepping back as the student gains the confidence to work alone
Progress Tracking: Maintain clear records of student breakthroughs and hurdles, providing vital data to the Class Teacher and SENCO to help shape future lessons
