Job Title: SEND Learning Support Assistant
Are you adaptable and flexible to the needs of others?
Are you the kind of person who spots a challenge and says, “Let’s do this!”?
Do you have experience supporting children with Autism or behavioural needs — and do it with patience, care and maybe even a sense of humour?

If you’re already smiling or nodding… you might be EXACTLY who we’re looking for.

Teacher Active is SO excited to be working with a fantastic range of SEND provisions across Rochester and Gillingham
, and we’re hunting for enthusiastic, resilient, warm-hearted SEND Learning Support Assistants to join the squad.

We’re one of the UK’s biggest education agencies, which basically means:
✨ more opportunities
✨ more support
✨ and more chances to grow your career than you can shake a glue stick at

Whether you’re experienced with:

  • Autism / ASD
  • SLD
  • PMLD
  • SEMH
  • EBD
  • ADD
  • …or all of the above, we have schools who would LOVE to have you on board.

The successful SEND LSA will have:
  • Experience working in SEND settings (AKA: you’ve got heart and skill)
  • Confidence supporting children 1:1 or in groups
  • Top-tier classroom management (calm, collected and maybe slightly magical)
  • A nurturing personality — the kind that makes pupils feel safe, seen and supported
  • A willingness to jump in, help out and make a difference EVERY day

In return for the above, you can expect:
  • A dedicated, friendly team of consultants available 24/7 (yes… even on the days you need a pep talk)
  • Guaranteed Payment Scheme T&Cs apply
  • CPD Courses & Certificates through My-Progression
  • Market-leading rates of pay (your work matters — and so should your pay)
  • Referral Bonus – earn up to £100 per friend you recommend T&Cs apply

Plus, we pay PAYE
, so your money is your money — no sneaky admin deductions nibbling at your hard-earned cash.


Ready for your next chapter?

If you’re thinking, “This sounds SO me!” then hit APPLY NOW
, and I’ll be in touch faster than a student can shout, “Miss, he’s taken my pencil!”

Let’s get you into a role where you can change lives — and enjoy doing it.

All applicants will be contacted to discuss suitability and then invited to register with Teacher Active. Registration involves an enhanced DBS check, s and will require you to supply good professional references. We pride ourselves on excellent service. We can provide a wide range of opportunities in schools and other educational institutions, with good rates of pay, at times to suit your needs.
