Location: Nailsea
Start Date: Immediate Start
Salary: £85 – £95 per day (dependent on experience and qualifications)

Do you have experience supporting students with additional learning needs on a 1:1 basis?

Are you passionate about helping young people thrive in a supportive and structured environment?

Do you want to work in a specialist provision within a mainstream school?

TeacherActive is working in partnership with a well-regarded secondary school in Nailsea, which is seeking to appoint a Learning Support Assistant to join their dedicated Resource Base team. This is a long-term, full-time role starting immediately, supporting students on a 1:1 basis with a variety of learning and emotional needs.

The Resource Base provides tailored, small-group and individualised support to students who benefit from a quieter, more structured learning environment within the mainstream school.

• Have experience working with young people with SEND, particularly in a 1:1 or small-group setting

• Be patient, empathetic, and confident in managing behaviour calmly and effectively

• Have a strong understanding of safeguarding, inclusion, and the needs of students with EHCPs

• Be able to build positive relationships with students, staff, and parents/carers

• Ideally have previous experience in a school, PRU, or alternative provision

In return, you can expect:

• A long-term position within a nurturing, specialist setting

• Support and training from the school’s experienced SEN and pastoral teams

• Competitive daily rates paid on a PAYE basis (no umbrella deductions)

• Ongoing CPD opportunities via our My-Progression platform
