Are you someone who genuinely cares about supporting children with additional needs? Do you want to go home each day knowing you’ve made a real difference? If so, this could be the perfect opportunity for you.

We’re delighted to be working alongside a welcoming and supportive SEND school in Harlow, who are looking for a dedicated Learning Support Assistant (LSA) to join their team. This is a fantastic chance to become part of a setting where every child is valued, understood, and encouraged to thrive.

About the Role

As a Learning Support Assistant, you’ll play an important role in helping pupils with a variety of additional needs, including ASD, ADHD, SEMH, and behaviours that may be challenging at times.

You’ll be working closely with teachers, therapists, and other staff to create a calm, structured, and nurturing environment where pupils feel safe and supported. Your day-to-day support will help students grow in confidence, develop independence, and make progress both academically and socially.

This is more than just a job — it’s an opportunity to build meaningful connections and positively impact young lives every single day.

Even better, this role offers a clear pathway from a temporary position into a permanent role, giving you stability and the chance to grow your career within a supportive school community.


What We’re Looking For

We’re searching for someone who is kind, patient, and truly passionate about helping children succeed. You don’t need to be perfect — but you do need to care.

Ideally, you will have:

  • Experience working in a SEND setting or supporting children with ASD, ADHD, SEMH, or complex needs (this is highly desirable)
  • Strong communication skills and the ability to work well as part of a team
  • A calm, flexible approach and the ability to adapt to each child’s individual needs
  • A positive attitude, resilience, and a genuine desire to make a difference

What’s in It for You?

  • Competitive daily pay based on your experience
  • Ongoing training and development to help you grow in your role
  • A friendly, inclusive school environment where your work is appreciated
  • Clear progression opportunities, including the potential to secure a permanent position

If you’re looking for a rewarding role where every day brings new challenges, small wins, and meaningful moments, we’d love to hear from you.

Apply today and take the next step in a truly fulfilling SEND career.
