Contract: Full-time, Long-term to permanent
Hours: 37?hours per week
Pay: £95-£105 per day
Start: ASAP

Are you an experienced and resilient Teaching & Learning Assistant seeking a rewarding role in an alternative education setting? Long Term Futures are partnered with a specialist provision that supports small groups (2-7 pupils) of primary-aged learners who have been excluded from mainstream schools. This is a varied and impactful position-blending classroom support, behavioural mentoring, and pastoral care.

What You'll Do:

  • Support pupils with complex behavioural, emotional, and social needs

  • Assist in lessons to help pupils engage and progress academically

  • Lead small group or 1:1 sessions, and occasionally cover staff absence

  • Supervise pupils at break/lunch and conduct home-learning or safe-and-well visits

  • Contribute to site-wide teamwork ensuring a structured, nurturing environment

Who We're Looking For:

  • Proven experience working with disaffected or challenging primary pupils in alternative or mainstream settings

  • Strong behaviour management skills and a "think-outside-the-box" approach

  • Resilience, high expectations, adaptability-and a good sense of humour

  • Excellent relationship-building skills to engage and motivate pupils

  • Willingness to contribute to broader site duties and occasional travel (with mileage paid)

  • Valid DBS and eligible to work in the UK

Why Join Us:

  • Small class sizes for more meaningful impact

  • Paid mileage for travel between sites or home visits

  • Access to our free CPD platform

  • A supportive, close-knit team with a strong safeguarding ethos
