We are working with a large SEN school just outside of Ashford who are looking for experienced and qualified Learning Support Assistants to start throughout April 2026.

The school is an independent, coeducational, day school which caters for students across Key Stages 1 – Key Stage 4 with EHC Plans of social, emotional, and behavioural difficulties and a range of additional learning difficulties including Autism and Moderate Learning Difficulties.

Your key duties as a Learning Support Assistant will be to:

· Support students 1:1 and on a small group basis.

· Follow IEPs.

· Manage any challenging behaviour.

It is essential that you have previous experience supporting pupils with SEN and being able to help children with their work who are academically in need of extra help and support.

Students use the site for sports events, archaeological digs and ecology studies as well as being given the opportunity to grow fruit and vegetables and take part in vocational studies with the workshops and kitchen spaces.

You will be rewarded with excellent rates of pay of £90 to £95 per day. If you are interested in this position and have a passion for helping SEN children achieve the best that they can every day, then please send your CV ASAP!
