No two days are the same for a Learning Support Assistant at Macintyre School in Wingrave, whether you are heading out into the community on work experience, developing life skills in the kitchen, making music or getting messy in a sensory play activity.
In this role you will be making a real difference in a young persons life, now and for their future.
Without a doubt, one of the most rewarding parts of this role is that you get to learn from your students every day.
Watching them overcome obstacles and work so hard to make progress is one of the most inspiring things in the world.
Each young person is unique and discovering their individual needs, strengths and differences is all part of what makes this school a very special place.
The role:
You will be joining a class of up to 6 students aged 10-19 who have severe learning disabilities and a range of complex needs.
Working in smaller classes and supporting young people 1 to 1 means you can really invest the time getting to know them, learning what it is they really need and being able to offer the right help at the right time.
During your day you will be working closely with the class teacher and the rest of your team to deliver an innovative and challenging curriculum, individually tailored to each student.
Although working 1:1 you will have the opportunity to work with and build strong relationships with all the students in your class.
This is a term-time only role : 38.5 hours a week (41 weeks per year)"Please note, we are currently unable to offer sponsorships as we await further guidance from the Home Office. Applications requiring sponsorship cannot be considered at this time. We appreciate your understanding."

About you
We are looking for warm, caring, positive and resilient people who will put the children at the centre of everything they do.

life skills (e.g. using public transport, shopping, cooking and cleaning), physical exercise (e.g. climbing, swimming, walking, water sports), work experience (e.g. on a farm), community access (e.g. in shops or cafes) or class based activities (e.g. music and dance & creative arts).
