Learning Support Assistant - Oxford

Are you passionate about helping children learn, grow and reach their full potential? Do you believe that every child deserves to feel safe, valued and understood? If so, we would love to hear from you!

We are looking for a caring, enthusiastic and patient Learning Support Assistant to join our specialist school team in Oxford, supporting children who have experienced adverse childhood experiences, trauma and neglect. The role is to start ASAP!

Working closely with pupils on a 1:1 basis and in small groups, you will help them engage with their learning, build confidence and develop the skills they need to succeed both in and beyond the classroom.

This role is about much more than education. You will play an important part in supporting pupils' emotional wellbeing, helping them build positive relationships, manage their emotions and develop trust in others. Using restorative practices and a trauma-informed approach, you will help create a calm, safe and nurturing environment where every child has the opportunity to thrive.

What we're looking for:

• Someone caring, resilient and approachable, with a genuine passion for supporting children.
• A patient and understanding individual who can build positive, trusting relationships.
• A team player who is keen to learn and develop their skills.
