Full Time – Learning Support Assistant – SEND School
At Leader Education, we’re proud to be recruiting on behalf of a warm, welcoming and highly inclusive SEND school in Peterlee for a passionate Teaching Assistant.
This specialist setting supports children and young people aged 2–19, creating an environment where every learner is encouraged, supported and celebrated. If you’re someone who wants a role with real purpose — where no two days are the same and every day genuinely matters — this could be the perfect opportunity for you.
You’ll become part of a caring and collaborative team dedicated to helping pupils feel safe, confident and empowered to achieve their full potential both inside and outside the classroom.
What you’ll be doing:
- Supporting children and young people with a range of additional needs
- Creating a positive, nurturing and inclusive learning environment
- Encouraging confidence, independence and social development
- Working alongside teachers, therapists and support staff to deliver tailored support
- Celebrating every achievement — big or small
We’d love to hear from you if you:
- Have experience supporting children or young people, ideally within education or SEND
- Understand the importance of inclusive practice and personalised support
- Are calm, patient, empathetic and adaptable
- Build positive relationships with pupils, families and staff
- Are passionate about making a meaningful difference in young people’s lives
Experience supporting pupils with autism, complex needs or communication difficulties would be highly beneficial. Knowledge of alternative or augmentative communication methods is also a big advantage. Additional training such as safeguarding, first aid or positive behaviour support is welcomed.
What Leader Education can offer:
- Competitive pay rates
- £100 refer-a-friend bonus scheme (terms apply)
- Ongoing support from a dedicated consultant
- Opportunity for a permanent contract following a qualifying period
- A rewarding role where you can genuinely impact young lives every day
If you’re ready to start a rewarding role in a supportive specialist setting and want to be part of something truly meaningful, we’d love to hear from you.
To apply, please submit a comprehensive CV outlining your relevant experience and qualifications. Alternatively, email your CV to lucy.dawes@leadereducation.co.uk or call 0191 300 4311 for more information.
