Are you enthusiastic about helping young people thrive in the classroom?
Do you have a calm, supportive approach and a passion for inclusive education?

We are currently recruiting for a dedicated Learning Support Assistant (LSA) to join a welcoming and forward-thinking secondary school in Croydon this September. Whether you're an experienced LSA, a recent graduate, or exploring a career in education, this is a fantastic opportunity to make a difference.

As an LSA, you'll work closely with pupils who require additional support-whether due to learning difficulties, mild SEN needs, or emotional/social barriers. Your role will involve working 1:1 or in small groups, supporting students in lessons, and helping them to access the curriculum confidently.

• Provide classroom support under the direction of the teacher

• Assist students with learning activities, both in class and during interventions

• Adapt materials and offer differentiated support when required

• Build positive relationships with students and promote independence

• Work as part of a wider pastoral and inclusion team

• Experience working with young people (in school, tutoring, youth work or similar)

• Positive, patient, and proactive attitude

• Good literacy, numeracy, and communication skills

• Able to manage behaviour calmly and supportively

• Passionate about supporting student progress and inclusion

This Croydon-based secondary school is known for its supportive staff culture, inclusive ethos, and strong commitment to student wellbeing. The SEN and inclusion team are well-established, and staff benefit from regular CPD, mentoring, and the opportunity to progress within education or specialist roles (e.g. behaviour mentor, HLTA, teacher training).

• Personal consultant support throughout your placement

• Weekly pay and access to additional CPD training

• Opportunity for temp-to-perm progression

• Ideal stepping stone for aspiring teachers or educational psychologists
