Do you want to support children with Special Educational Needs (SEN) in a nurturing primary school environment?

We are looking for a dedicated Learning Support Assistant (LSA) to join our Specialist SEN Hub, managed by Wakefield Council. Our hub provides a highly supportive setting for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and additional complex needs, ensuring they receive the personalised care and education they deserve.

About the Role:

As an LSA, you will:

• Support students with EHCPs (Educational Health Care Plans) who have ASD and additional SEND needs
• Work in busy classrooms, providing hands-on support in a structured setting
• Assist with personal care and feeding as part of the daily routine
• Help create an inclusive, positive, and engaging learning environment
• Work closely with teachers and therapists to implement individual learning and care plans

What we’re looking for?

• Have experience, or a passion for working with students with additional needs, especially Autism.
• Have knowledge or understanding of how to support children with SEN and SEMH
• Be flexible, proactive and patient
• Be nurturing in their approach and interventions
• Be able to communicate effectively within a team
• Have a background in Education, Care, Social work, Psychology or Drama, as these are very transferable.

Experience is NOT Essential - Personality Matters More!

You don’t need prior experience in education or working with SEMH & ASD - what we’re really looking for is someone who:

• Has a caring, patient, and understanding nature
• Is open to learning about SEMH & ASD and how to support students effectively
• Can build strong relationships and gain students' trust
• Is adaptable, flexible, and has a good sense of humour
