Are you passionate about making a difference in the lives of children? Do you believe in the power of inclusive education and strong relationships? If so, we’d love to hear from you!

At King’s Academy Northern Parade, we are seeking a dedicated, nurturing and enthusiastic Learning Support Assistant to join our vibrant, caring team. This is a fantastic opportunity to become part of a supportive, forward-thinking school where every child truly matters.

About the Role:

As an LSA, you will play a key role in helping all children access learning and thrive:

• Support pupils within the classroom alongside the class teacher
  
  

• Provide 1:1 support to children with additional needs
  
  

• Work with small groups to boost learning and confidence
  
  

• Help build positive relationships and a sense of belonging

You’ll be an important part of creating a nurturing, inclusive environment where all children are encouraged to reach their full potential.

What We’re Looking For:

We are proud to be a relational practice school – we understand that strong, respectful relationships are the foundation of learning and development. The ideal candidate will:

• Be patient, caring and adaptable
  
  

• Have high expectations for all learners
  
  

• Be committed to inclusion and equity
  
  

• Use relational practice to support behaviour and emotional needs
  
  

• Be a strong team player with excellent communication skills
  
  

Experience in a similar role or supporting children with SEND is an advantage, but not essential—we value the right mindset and passion most of all.

Why Join King’s Academy Northern Parade?

• A welcoming and inclusive school with a strong community ethos
  
  

• A commitment to professional development and staff wellbeing
  
  

• Supportive leadership and a passionate staff team
  
  

• A chance to genuinely impact children's lives every single day
