More than just classroom support.

Some children need someone in their corner — someone who can encourage them, understand them and help them believe in what they can achieve.

Could you be that person?

Parker Smith Inclusion is working with a small, welcoming rural primary school in Colchester looking for a caring and committed Learning Support Assistant to join their team.

This is a close-knit school where relationships, inclusion and helping children become confident and independent learners really matter.

About the Role

You’ll work alongside the class teacher and wider school team to support pupils across the classroom, in small groups and on a 1:1 basis.

Your role could include:

• Supporting pupils with their learning and development

• Providing 1:1 and small-group support

• Helping pupils stay focused and engaged

• Adapting activities to meet individual needs

• Supporting social, emotional and behavioural development

• Encouraging independence and confidence

• Building positive relationships with children

• Helping create a calm, positive and inclusive classroom

About You

You don’t necessarily need previous school experience. We’re more interested in your attitude, personality and approach.

You could have experience as a Teaching Assistant or Learning Support Assistant, or come from care, youth work, coaching, support work or another child-focused background.

We’re looking for someone who is:

• Patient, caring and approachable

• Calm and consistent

• Confident working with children

• Naturally nurturing and supportive

• Resilient and adaptable

• A strong communicator and team player

• Passionate about inclusion and helping children thrive

Most importantly, you need to genuinely care about making a difference.

About the School

You’ll be joining a small, community-focused primary school where children are known as individuals and staff work closely together.

It’s a great opportunity to build meaningful relationships, develop your education and SEND experience and see the impact of your work every day.

What’s on Offer?

• £95–£110 per day PAYE

• 8:30am–3:30pm, Monday to Friday

• Long-term opportunity

• Temp-to-perm potential

• Supportive and welcoming school environment

• Opportunity to develop your education and SEND experience

If you’re looking for a role where you’re not just supervising children, but supporting, encouraging and helping them thrive, apply today or speak with Danny at Parker Smith Inclusion.
