An opportunity has arisen for a committed and enthusiastic Learning Support Assistant to join a small specialist school in Guildford. The school works with pupils across a wide age range, supporting individuals with autism and a variety of additional and complex needs. The position is available for an immediate start and offers a temp-to-perm opportunity, with a daily rate of £92.63. Working Monday to Friday, 8:30am to 3:30pm, you will play an important role in supporting pupils throughout their school day, providing encouragement, reassurance and practical assistance to help them reach their individual potential. The role will involve working with pupils with ASD, supporting a range of learning and developmental needs, and helping to manage situations where challenging behaviour may arise. You must also be comfortable undertaking personal care responsibilities as part of your daily duties. The ideal candidate will be caring, resilient and adaptable, with a genuine interest in supporting children and young people with special educational needs. Previous SEND experience would be advantageous, particularly within an autism setting, although a positive attitude and the ability to build strong relationships are equally important. As the school is situated in a relatively remote location, having a full driving licence and access to a car is essential. This is a fantastic opportunity to become part of a close-knit school community and potentially progress into a permanent role.<br/><br />If you are interested, then please click on the apply button and contact Sam Higham on 0207 580 2956 | Ext: 1038.<br /><br />If you are not interested in this role but know someone else who might be, <strong>don&#39;t forget that we offer &pound;50 in shopping vouchers if you refer a friend to us and we place them in the job.</strong> For more details, contact your local Axcis office.<br /><br /><em>This is a temporary position, unless stated otherwise.</em><br /><br /><em>Axcis is an equal opportunities employer and as such we do not discriminate based on age, gender, disability, race or any other equal opportunities criteria.<br /><br />The company is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.
