New Job: Learning Support Assistant in Ealing, West London

Job Description

Learning Support Assistant Ealing ––September Start

This is a primary school in Ealing rated Good, committed to inclusion, strong community values, and high academic aspiration. The school encourages respect, curiosity and personal growth. Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are supported with personalised interventions and well-trained staff to ensure they participate fully in classroom life. There is an emphasis on nurturing confidence, kindness and cooperation, underpinned by modern facilities and a positive school culture. Ealing’s support for mainstream schools to provide SEND provision is among the strongest in London, helping close the gap between SEN and non-SEN students.

 Learning Support Assistant – What the School Offers

• Regular CPD and training to develop skills in SEND, behaviour management, and classroom support


• Strong induction programme and mentoring for support staff


• Collaborative working culture, with staff working together across classes and year groups


• Supportive behaviour systems and pastoral care that prioritise student wellbeing


• Potential for extended contracts or stepping roles for high-performing staff

• Assisting teachers to adapt lessons to meet different learning needs, especially for students with SEND (ASD, ADHD, SEMH)


• Helping with classroom management, maintaining a positive and safe learning environment


• Supporting students' personal, social, and emotional development, helping build confidence and independence


• Working with external professionals (therapists, SENDCo etc.) and contributing towards implementing IEPs and behaviour plans


• Participating in school activities and assisting with movement around the school (e.g. transitions, playground supervision)

 Learning Support Assistant – What the School is Looking For

We are seeking a compassionate, proactive, and committed individual with excellent communication skills and a willingness to learn. Previous experience in child-centred roles or SEND settings is valued. A 2:1 or First-Class degree from a top-30 UK university is desirable, but dedication and attitude are equally important. Please note, applicants must have the legal right to work in the UK, as we are unable to offer visa sponsorship for this position.
