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.
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 o
rganisation,
memory techniques, and confidence-building.
Career Fast-Track:
This is the gold standard of experience for those looking to apply for a
PGCE, School Direct, or Masters in Education.
Weekly Pay:
Competitive daily rates of
£90 - £95
, paid every Friday via Randstad.
Your Role as an LSA
As a Learning Support Assistant, you are the link between the teacher's high-level plan and the student's individual understanding.
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.
Essential Requirements
We value intelligence, initiative, and a "coaching" mindset. You are an ideal fit if you:
Are Academically Confident:
You have strong GCSEs (especially in English and Maths) and the ability to explain academic concepts clearly and creatively.
Are Proactive:
You don't wait to be told what to do; you can spot a struggling student and move in to offer support before they lose focus.
Have Relevant Experience:
Whether it's university tutoring, coaching, or previous school work, you have experience helping others learn.
Are Committed:
You hold an enhanced DBS on the update service (or are willing to apply) and are 100% dedicated to Safeguarding.
