There are schools… and then there are schools that genuinely change the trajectory of a child’s life.
We are working closely with a specialist SEND setting in Farnborough that supports pupils with Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs, and they are looking for Learning Support Assistants who can bring patience, resilience, and consistency into the classroom.
This is not a “sit at the back and observe” kind of role.
This is hands-on, relationship-driven, and incredibly rewarding.
Supporting pupils on a 1:1 and small group basis
Working with children who may present with challenging behaviour, trauma backgrounds, or emotional dysregulation
Helping pupils engage with learning in a way that works for them
Using a calm, consistent and restorative approach
Being a safe, reliable adult in the classroom
This is a well-established SEND provision with a strong reputation locally for the way they support both pupils and their staff.
You’ll be joining a team that:
Understands SEMH and does things properly
Supports staff with training and guidance
Values consistency, structure and positive behaviour approaches
Works together — no one is left to “figure it out” alone
Have experience with SEMH, behaviour, or SEND (schools, care, youth work, support work – all relevant)
Are confident, calm, and able to hold boundaries in a positive way
Understand that behaviour is communication
Can build trust and rapport with pupils who may find school difficult
Are reliable and committed to long-term work
£14.25 per hour
Consistent hours: Monday to Friday, 8:30am – 3:00pm
Long-term opportunity with potential to become permanent
Ongoing support from a team that actually understands SEND
The chance to make a real difference every single day
If you’re someone who thrives in a role where no two days are the same, and you want to be part of a school that genuinely supports its pupils — we’d love to hear from you.
