Learning Support Assistant

At Langley School we excel at developing and nurturing the individual. We are an inclusive, non-academically selective school, and believe that all our pupils have the potential to achieve no matter their starting points.

We are proud of the role we play in helping young people discover and explore interests and shifting their perceptions of themselves, and the world around them. Learning Support and Development is offered through a team of specialists who work closely, both with individual students and with teachers.

Within our Learning Support Department, we have a dedicated team of Learning Support Assistants (LSA) and Senior Learning Support Assistants (SLSA), led by a Special Educational Needs Co-ordinator (SENCO).

We deliver personalised support to individual students and small groups, to nurture, develop and grow both the pastoral and academic strength of our pupils. Joining us as a Learning Support Assistant, you will play an important role in helping our pupils to take an active role in their own learning, challenging them to ask questions, think critically, and respond positively to feedback. Our LSAs provide clarification, explanation, motivation and encouragement to the pupil, giving specific help in weak areas, promoting study skills and encouraging independence, primarily through in-class support.

Langley is a fantastic place to work, with wonderful staff, a supportive parent body, and interesting and interested young people all around us. There is a real sense of family and community warmth to Langley, and it's an environment that is both stimulating and rewarding.
