👦 Role: 1:1 Support for a Child with SEMH Needs
We’re flexible and believe the right person matters more than the hours — job share and part-time applications are warmly welcomed.
We are looking for a compassionate and motivated Learning Support Assistant to join our caring and inclusive school community in Brighton. This is a rewarding opportunity to provide 1:1 support for a child with social, emotional, and mental health (SEMH) needs, helping them to build confidence, develop self-regulation skills, and thrive within the classroom environment.
You’ll work closely with the class teacher and SENCO to deliver consistent, personalised support — using patience, empathy, and creativity to help the pupil overcome barriers to learning and make positive progress.
Supporting a pupil with SEMH needs in both academic and social settings
Promoting emotional wellbeing, positive behaviour, and self-esteem
Adapting tasks and resources to suit individual learning styles
Implementing strategies to manage behaviour and encourage engagement
Building trusting relationships with pupils, staff, and families to create a consistent support network
We’re seeking someone who is:
Kind, patient, and resilient, with a genuine passion for supporting young people
Able to build strong, nurturing relationships based on trust and respect
Confident working as part of a collaborative school team
Experienced in supporting pupils with SEMH or SEND (desirable, but not essential — training will be provided)
A warm and supportive school environment where every member of staff is valued
Ongoing professional development and training opportunities
Flexibility through part-time or job share arrangements
The chance to make a real and lasting difference in a child’s educational journey
