We are currently looking for both full and part-time Learning Support Assistants for mainstream secondary schools based in Walsall. The schools are looking for people on a full or part time basis starting in January 2024.

Due to the needs of the children, we are looking for someone that has previously worked with special educational needs and is confident in their behaviour management.

You will support students on a one-to-one basis, as well as working with small groups.

The role:
