Learning Support Assistants – SEMH School

Location: Willesden, North West London
Salary: £100 - £115 per day PAYE
Job Type: Full time, Temp to Perm
Start Date: September 2026

About the role

What if the behaviour you see is not the real problem?

For some young people, school becomes difficult long before they walk through the classroom door.

A specialist SEMH school in Willesden is looking for Learning Support Assistants to help pupils overcome barriers, regulate emotions and rediscover their confidence in education.

If you are patient, resilient and good at building trust, this could be the role for you.

The setting

The school supports young people with Social, Emotional and Mental Health needs in a structured and supportive environment.

Staff focus on relationships, consistency and helping pupils develop the confidence and skills they need to make progress.

The role

As a Learning Support Assistant, you will:

  • Provide one-to-one and small-group support

  • Support SEMH, SEND and behavioural needs

  • Help pupils engage with lessons

  • Encourage emotional regulation and positive behaviour

  • Build trusted relationships

  • Reinforce learning and behaviour strategies

  • Work alongside teachers and pastoral staff

  • Help create a calm, safe classroom

Who we are looking for

You do not need previous SEMH experience.

We welcome applications from people with backgrounds in:

  • Teaching Assistant or LSA work

  • Youth work or care

  • Behaviour support

  • Sports coaching

  • Psychology or Criminology

  • Education or mentoring

You will be calm, consistent, resilient and confident setting boundaries.

Why this role matters

The right LSA can be the adult a young person remembers.

The person who helps them return to class after a difficult morning, manage their emotions or believe they can succeed.

That is more than classroom support. It is helping a young person move forward.

What you can expect

  • £100 - £115 per day PAYE

  • Full time, temp to perm

  • September 2026 start

  • Specialist SEMH setting

  • Strong pastoral and teaching support

  • Excellent SEND experience

  • Ongoing Parker Smith Inclusion support
