Are you looking for learning support assistant jobs where you can truly make a difference? At ASENEA, we work closely with SEN (Special Educational Needs) schools across Yorkshire to help passionate and experienced individuals find rewarding roles that match their skills and goals.
Whether you’re just starting your career or looking for a fresh opportunity in a supportive and fulfilling environment, we’re here to help.
What Does a Learning Support Assistant Do in an SEN School?
Learning support assistant jobs in SEN schools are about more than just classroom support — they’re about helping young people thrive, both academically and emotionally. You’ll be working with children who have a range of special educational needs, including autism, ADHD, communication difficulties, and learning disabilities.
Your responsibilities may include:
- Providing 1:1 or small group support to pupils
- Helping pupils manage their emotions and behaviour
- Creating a safe, supportive, and inclusive environment
- Supporting pupils with personal care if needed
Every day is different, and every moment is an opportunity to make a real impact.
