Are you someone who enjoys working with children and helping them grow in confidence, develop new skills and get the most out of their time at school?

We are working with a welcoming mainstream primary school in Chichester that is looking for a caring and enthusiastic Learning Support Assistant to join their team.

This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys being hands-on in the classroom, building positive relationships with pupils and supporting children through their day-to-day learning. The school is looking for someone who is patient, reliable and willing to get involved, helping create a positive environment where every child feels supported and included.

The role

You’ll work closely with the class teacher to support pupils with their learning, encourage participation in classroom activities and help children build their confidence and independence.

Your day will involve working with individual pupils, supporting small groups and helping the wider class where needed. You’ll play an important part in making sure children feel comfortable, engaged and ready to learn.

• Patient, approachable and encouraging.

• Able to offer reassurance and support when pupils find things challenging.
• Proactive, flexible and happy to get involved in school life.
• Comfortable working closely with teachers and other support staff.
• Passionate about helping children learn, develop and reach their potential.

Previous experience as a Teaching Assistant, Learning Support Assistant, childcare worker, youth worker or in a similar role would be beneficial. However, candidates with relevant transferable skills and a genuine interest in working in education are also encouraged to apply.

What’s on offer?

• A full-time, Monday-to-Friday role in a mainstream primary school.
• Consistent hours during the school day.
• The opportunity to gain valuable experience in an educational setting.
• The chance to make a genuine difference to children’s learning and development.
