Intervention Learning Support Assistant – 1:1 SEND Support
Thurrock | September Start | 08:30–15:30
£95–£100 per day PAYE
Permanent Opportunity After 12 Weeks
Not every Teaching Assistant role is the same.
Some roles have you moving between classrooms, covering at short notice and trying to support several children at once.
This isn't one of them.
We're working with a welcoming mainstream primary school in Thurrock that is looking for an Intervention Learning Support Assistant to provide dedicated 1:1 support for pupils with SEND.
This is an opportunity for someone who enjoys building relationships, getting to know how individual children learn and having the time to deliver meaningful support.
You'll work closely with the SENCO, class teachers and wider inclusion team, helping pupils overcome barriers to learning, develop confidence and make progress within a mainstream school environment.
The focus is on consistency, targeted support and celebrating the progress that comes from having the right person alongside a child.
What will you be doing?
-
Providing dedicated 1:1 support for pupils with SEND.
-
Delivering tailored learning interventions to address individual needs.
-
Supporting communication, emotional regulation and social development.
-
Helping children develop confidence and independence.
-
Encouraging engagement and participation both inside and outside the classroom.
-
Working alongside teachers, the SENCO and external professionals.
-
Recognising progress, celebrating achievements and adapting support when needed.
Who would suit this role?
We're looking for someone who:
-
Has experience working as a Teaching Assistant, LSA, SEND TA or Support Worker.
-
Has experience or a genuine interest in supporting children with additional needs.
-
Is patient, consistent and confident building positive relationships.
-
Understands that every child learns differently and may need a different approach.
-
Has good communication skills and enjoys working as part of a team.
-
Wants to make a genuine difference rather than simply provide general classroom support.
You don't have to be the loudest person in the classroom. Sometimes the biggest impact comes from being the consistent, reassuring person a child knows they can rely on.
What's on offer?
-
£95–£100 per day, paid PAYE.
-
Monday to Friday, 08:30–15:30.
-
September start.
-
Permanent opportunity after 12 weeks for the right candidate.
-
Support from an experienced SENCO and inclusion team.
-
The opportunity to develop your SEND experience and build a long-term career in education.
Looking for a role where you can actually see the difference you're making?
If you enjoy working closely with children, building trust and helping them overcome barriers to learning, we'd love to hear from you.
Whether you're an experienced LSA, SEND Teaching Assistant or Support Worker looking to move into education, this could be a great next step.
