This is an opportunity to work closely with young people who need additional support with their learning, confidence, communication and independence - helping them get the most out of both education and everyday life.
It is not simply a classroom-based TA role.
You could be supporting learning in the morning, heading out into the community, helping with a shopping trip, taking part in an activity or supporting a young person to develop practical skills and confidence.
For the right person, it is a genuinely varied, active and rewarding role.
What You'll Be DoingAs an Outreach Learning Support Assistant, you'll build positive relationships with young people and support them both within education and out in the wider community.
Your day could include:
- Supporting young people with learning and educational activities
- Providing 1:1 and small-group support
- Helping pupils build confidence, communication and independence
- Supporting practical life skills and everyday living
- Accompanying young people on days out and community activities
- Supporting trips to shops, local facilities and other community settings
- Helping with practical activities such as shopping, budgeting and making choices
- Encouraging young people to try new activities and experiences
- Supporting social development and positive relationships
- Helping pupils become more confident accessing their local community
- Working alongside teachers and the wider specialist support team
- Providing consistent, encouraging and person-centred support
You'll be helping young people develop skills that go beyond the classroom - skills they can use in everyday life.
Who Would Suit This Role?This could suit someone already working in education, but we're also keen to hear from people with relevant experience from care, youth work, residential, community support or similar environments.
You could be a:
Teaching Assistant | SEN TA | LSA | Learning Mentor | Outreach Worker | Youth Worker | Support Worker | Residential Support Worker | Education Support Worker | Behaviour Mentor | Pastoral Worker | Care Worker
Experience supporting children or young people with SEND, SEN, SEMH, autism, ADHD, behavioural needs or additional learning needs would be beneficial.
We're looking for someone who is:
- Passionate about supporting young people
- Patient, caring and reliable
- Positive and encouraging
- Comfortable working 1:1
- Confident supporting young people in the community
- Interested in helping develop independence and life skills
- Happy to get involved and try different activities
- Able to build strong, positive relationships
- A confident driver with a full UK driving licence and access to a vehicle
You don't necessarily need to have followed a traditional education career path. If you have the right attitude, relevant experience and genuinely enjoy helping young people develop, we'd like to hear from you.
