The early years of a child's education can shape their confidence for years to come.

We're working with a number of welcoming primary schools across BS6 that are looking for enthusiastic and caring Learning Support Assistants to join their Key Stage 1 teams from October.

These schools are passionate about creating positive learning environments where children feel safe, supported, and excited to learn. As a Learning Support Assistant, you'll play a key role in helping pupils develop the skills, confidence, and independence they need to flourish both inside and outside the classroom.

If you're someone who loves celebrating progress, encouraging young learners, and making a genuine difference every day, we'd love to hear from you.

What You'll Be Doing

Working alongside class teachers and wider school staff, you'll help create engaging and inclusive learning experiences for KS1 pupils.

Your role may include:

• Supporting teaching and learning across Key Stage 1 classrooms
• Delivering targeted 1:1 and small-group interventions
• Assisting teachers with engaging and creative learning activities
• Supporting the development of early literacy, numeracy, and communication skills
• Encouraging positive behaviour and strong classroom routines
• Helping pupils build confidence, resilience, and independence
• Contributing to a nurturing and supportive learning environment

Every day brings new challenges, rewarding moments, and opportunities to make a positive impact.

Who We're Looking For

This role would suit someone who:

• Has a genuine passion for working with young children
• Is patient, caring, and encouraging in their approach
• Builds positive relationships with pupils, staff, and families
• Enjoys working collaboratively as part of a team
• Is adaptable, proactive, and eager to learn
• Wants to gain meaningful experience within education

We'd particularly love to hear from:

• Learning Support Assistants and Teaching Assistants
• Graduates considering a career in education
• Aspiring teachers seeking classroom experience
• Candidates with childcare, youth work, coaching, or support work experience

Previous school experience is beneficial but not essential. A positive attitude, willingness to learn, and commitment to supporting children are what matter most.
