Job description

**Learning Support Assistant**
**Primary Schools | Full-Time & Part-Time Opportunities | Aspire People**

Do you enjoy working with children but **don't have a formal Teaching Assistant qualification**?

You could have worked as a **tutor, youth worker, sports coach, mentor, childcare professional, nursery practitioner, teaching volunteer, or in another child-focused role**.

**The Role:**
* Supporting pupils within the classroom
* Providing 1:1 and small-group support
* Assisting with reading, writing, Maths, and classroom activities
* Supporting pupils with SEND where required
* Encouraging positive behaviour and engagement
* Helping children develop confidence and independence
* Working alongside teachers and other support staff

**We'd Be Interested in Candidates With Experience As:**
* Tutors
* Youth workers
* Sports coaches
* Childcare professionals
* Nursery practitioners
* Mentors
* Children's activity leaders
* School volunteers
* Professionals who regularly work with children

**The Ideal Candidate:**
* Has recent experience working with children or young people
* Strong communication and relationship-building skills
* Patient, reliable, and adaptable
* Comfortable working as part of a team
* Passionate about supporting children's development
* Interested in developing a career within education

**Why Work with Aspire People?**
* No TA qualification necessarily required
* Gain valuable UK school experience
* Full-time and part-time opportunities
* Short-term and long-term roles available
* Potential progression into Teaching Assistant qualifications or teaching
* Dedicated consultant support

If you have experience working with children and want to explore a career in primary education, **don't worry if your previous job title wasn't "Teaching Assistant" - your experience could be exactly what a school is looking for.**

Aspire People Limited provides services as an Education Agency and an Education Employment Business. Aspire People is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of pupils and expects every candidate to share this commitment. Placements are subject, to appropriate Child Protection screening, including checks with former employers and the Disclosure and Barring Checks.
