#teamOFG! About the Role As a Learning Support Assistant at Trent Acres, you will play a key role in helping pupils overcome barriers to learning, celebrate their successes, and make a lasting difference to their education and personal development. Working closely with teachers, you will provide tailored support on a one-to-one and small group basis, assist with lesson delivery and learning activities, and contribute to a positive, inclusive classroom environment. You’ll prepare learning resources, support school activities, and supervise pupils during breaks and lunchtimes, while promoting positive behaviour and a calm, supportive atmosphere. In addition, you’ll help maintain records of pupil progress and behaviour and collaborate with teachers, therapy staff, and pastoral teams to ensure every young person receives the support they need to thrive.
