Smile Education is currently recruiting for several SEND Learning Support Assistants on behalf of a specialist school in Sandwell.

The school is known for its innovative, child-centred curriculum, focusing on six key areas: My Communication, My Community, My Care and Independence, My Creativity, My Thinking, and My Wellbeing.

- Experienced in supporting students with additional needs, particularly in specialist settings
- Patient, caring, and proactive in supporting learners both academically and emotionally
- Capable of working independently, as well as collaboratively within a multidisciplinary team
- Flexible and well-organised, with the ability to adapt to a range of student needs
- Comfortable providing personal care, including toileting and changing, in line with individual requirements
- Passionate about making a positive impact on the lives of children and young people
- Open to development, with the opportunity to gain a Level 2 qualification while in post
What’s on offer:
- Full-time positions starting September 2025
- Opportunity to meet with the school team in July for a pre-start visit/trial day
- Ongoing career development and training
- Supportive, inclusive school environment with a dedicated team
If you’re committed to supporting pupils with special educational needs and are ready to make a difference, we’d love to hear from you.
