Learning Support Assistant

About the role

Leavesden JMI School and Nursery is a two-form entry school in North Watford.

We are seeking to recruit an LSA to join us as soon as possible.   We are looking for an energetic, fun and resilient person to join our team in providing highly personalised and specialist support to children with significant special educational needs.

You will be joining a team of 4 adults and helping to support the needs of 8 children.

Having knowledge of children with a range of SEND needs is not essential, but is preferable.  What is essential is having a positive and motivational attitude, even on those days which are sent to challenge us!

This is a part-time position, term-time only. The hours will be 8.30 - 3.30pm (28.45hpw) and will include a 45 minute Midday Supervisor Role to cover lunch duty (3.45hpw). The position is fixed term until December 2025. 

Visits to the school are encouraged to provide you with a picture of the culture and team ethos we are so proud of. Please email the school office for an appointment admin@leavesden.education. 

We are committed to safeguarding and protecting our children and young people. All posts are subject to a safer recruitment process, which includes enhanced criminal records and barring checks, scrutiny of employment history, robust referencing and other vetting checks. Our safeguarding system is underpinned by a range of policies and procedures, which encourage and promote safe working practice across the school. On joining, you will be required to undergo continuous professional development to maintain safe working practice and to safeguard our children and young people.

If you have not heard from us within 21 days of the closing date, please assume that you have not been short listed on this occasion. We wish to stress that no discourtesy is intended following such a procedure, and you should not let this deter you from future applications.
