Make a Real Difference in SEN Education

Are you passionate about supporting children and young people who need a little extra help to thrive?

Academics is working with specialist SEN schools across Eastbourne and the surrounding areas to recruit caring, patient and enthusiastic Learning Support Assistants. These schools support pupils with a range of additional needs, including Autism (ASC), ADHD, Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs, and complex learning difficulties.

Whether you're an experienced SEN Teaching Assistant, looking to take your first steps into education, or bringing valuable experience from care, support work or childcare, we'd love to hear from you!

What Will You Be Doing?

As an SEN Learning Support Assistant, you'll play an important role in helping pupils feel safe, supported and confident in their learning.

Your responsibilities may include:

• Supporting pupils with their learning, development and engagement in the classroom.

• Providing one-to-one and small-group support tailored to individual needs.

• Helping pupils develop communication, independence and social skills.

• Supporting positive behaviour and emotional regulation.

• Working closely with teachers and other professionals to create a safe, inclusive learning environment.

• Adapting activities to meet pupils' individual abilities and learning styles.

Previous SEN experience is beneficial but not always essential. We welcome applications from candidates with backgrounds in care, support work, youth work, psychology, sports coaching, childcare and other people-focused roles.
