Summary

Coventry | Full-Time | £20,000-£25,000

Could you be the person who helps a young person believe in themselves?

Are you a

graduate who wants to make a meaningful difference to young people's education and wellbeing?

Perhaps you're considering a future career in

teaching, SEN, educational psychology or another education-based role, and want to gain valuable school experience before taking your next step.

We are working with an

inclusive and supportive secondary school in Coventry

who are looking for a compassionate

Graduate Learning Support Assistant (LSA)

to join their team.

This is an excellent opportunity to gain hands-on experience supporting students with additional needs while learning from experienced teachers and support staff.

What will you be doing?

As a Graduate LSA, you'll provide tailored support to students who may need additional help to access their learning and participate fully in school life.

You'll work closely with teachers and the wider support team, helping students to develop their

confidence, independence and ability to engage with learning.

Your responsibilities will include:

Providing

1:1 and small-group support

for students with SEN

Helping students access lessons, activities and the wider curriculum

Supporting pupils to remain

engaged, focused and motivated

Reinforcing learning and helping students develop their independence

Supporting students'

social, emotional and communication skills

Assisting teachers with differentiated classroom activities

Building positive and trusting relationships with individual students

Working closely with teachers, the SENCO and wider support staff

Sharing relevant information regarding student progress and wellbeing

Providing a calm, consistent and encouraging presence throughout the school day

Students may have a range of additional needs, including

autism, ADHD and dyslexia.

What are we looking for?

We're looking for graduates who can demonstrate:

A strong academic background, ideally a

2:1 degree or above

A genuine interest in working with young people

Excellent communication and interpersonal skills

Patience, empathy and resilience

A consistently positive and supportive approach

The ability to build strong relationships with students

A willingness to learn and develop within the role

Previous experience working with children or young people is desirable but not essential.

Experience through tutoring, mentoring, volunteering, coaching or similar settings would be beneficial, but we're particularly interested in graduates who have the

right attitude, compassion and enthusiasm

to support students.

What can you gain from this role?

This is an opportunity to gain

genuine, hands-on experience within a secondary school

while developing your understanding of SEN and inclusive education.

You'll have the opportunity to:

Build practical experience supporting students with additional needs

Develop your confidence within a classroom environment

Strengthen your communication, mentoring and interpersonal skills

Learn from experienced teachers and education professionals

Access training and professional development opportunities

Gain valuable experience for

teacher training and future education careers

Become part of a collaborative and inclusive school community

Ready to make a difference?

If you're a graduate who wants to

support young people, develop valuable experience and build a career in education, we'd love to hear from you.
