Long Term Futures is seeking an enthusiastic and dedicated Learning Support Assistant to join a warm and inclusive Year 1 team in a primary school based in Haringey. This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced Teaching Assistant or a graduate (such as in Psychology or Education) who is eager to gain first‑hand experience working with children with Special Educational Needs (SEN) in a nurturing, hands‑on environment.

You will work closely with the class teacher and SENCo to provide support across the classroom, with a focus on pupils who have additional learning, communication, or emotional needs. This is a varied role that combines 1:1 support, small‑group interventions, and whole‑class assistance. Your responsibilities will include:

• Supporting pupils in accessing learning through structured, engaging activities.
• Helping children develop communication, confidence, and independence.
• Providing emotional reassurance and encouraging positive behaviour.
• Assisting with phonics, reading, and number work in small groups.
• Working collaboratively with teachers and specialists to monitor progress.

• Experience working with children in schools or educational settings, or a degree in Psychology, Education, or a related subject.
• A genuine passion for helping children reach their full potential.
• Calm, patient, and enthusiastic, with a proactive attitude.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to build trusting relationships.
• Eager to learn from experienced staff and develop SEN knowledge.

• Long‑term placements offering stability and professional growth.
• Weekly pay through a simple digital system.
• Free CPD, including SEN and behaviour management training.
• Ongoing career guidance and support from your personal consultant.
