Learning Support Assistant – Outstanding Primary School - Full time

This is a rare and exciting opportunity to work at one of the highest performing schools in the country (Evening Standard). If you want to work in a seriously ambitious, respectful, and high performing school, this is the job for you.

This is a new, ambitious school model based on what we know excellent schools do. We have created a highly respectful and disciplined environment where our staff and scholars can fulfil their potential. Our aim is to consistently be one of the highest performing schools in the country.  Our 2024 Ofsted report said that ‘this school could now be judged as Outstanding’.

The school exists to empower young people, regardless of socio-economic background, to grow and be successful.  Expectations for all members of our community are unashamedly sky high. We work tirelessly to impact the lives of the young people we serve. 

The Role and the Department

We are seeking to appoint an exceptional Teaching Assistant (SEND) who will be fully committed to all aspects of our school vision and our core values of Ambition, Growth, Fellowship, and Scholarship. You will be joining a team of dedicated staff who are committed to going the extra mile to help make a real difference to the children in our care.

Our ideal candidate will be a driven and passionate person with the ability to learn from feedback and a hunger to constantly improve and develop. We are looking for someone who can work as part of a team, roll their sleeves up and excel at what they do. You will be passionate about academic excellence, have an unrelenting obsession to be the best you can be, and in turn motivate the pupils in your care to excel. You will need to be calm, well organised, and self-confident, with excellent communication and interpersonal skills. The post requires close collaboration with colleagues but will also involve working on your own initiative to find the best approaches to supporting pupils with SEND to achieve their potential. You will need to be a cheerful and organised self-starter, flexible and adaptable, with a helpful, friendly and inclusive approach.

The post provides a unique opportunity for the successful candidate to excel across a range of areas, including classroom support for pupils with special needs and disabilities and the delivery of high-quality interventions. The successful applicant will support pupils, classroom teachers, and the SENDCo on a daily basis in the classroom and around the school, through academic and pastoral support sessions, some light medical care, and some routine administrative duties. GTAs participate in regular pupil observations to help support the development of inclusive provision and also engage in regular peer-observation and coaching, offering you the chance to grow and develop in your role.
