Hours: 37.5 hours per week | Monday to Friday | 8.30am - 4.30pm

About the Role

Do you want a career where every day brings the opportunity to make a real difference?

At Fieldstone School, we're looking for a caring, enthusiastic and resilient Learning Support Assistant to join our dedicated team at our Ashburton site. This is a rewarding opportunity to support children and young people with Special Educational Needs, helping them overcome barriers to learning and achieve outcomes they never thought possible.

As a Learning Support Assistant, you'll be much more than classroom support. You'll become a trusted role model, helping pupils develop confidence, independence and resilience while creating a safe, nurturing environment where every learner feels valued and encouraged to succeed.

Working alongside teachers, therapists and pastoral colleagues, you'll play a vital role in delivering personalised support that enables every pupil to flourish academically, socially and emotionally.

What You'll Be Doing

Support teachers in delivering engaging, creative and inclusive learning across a broad and balanced curriculum.
Provide one-to-one and small-group support, helping pupils access learning and achieve their individual goals.
Assist in delivering personalised education, intervention and behaviour support programmes.
Build positive, trusting relationships that encourage confidence, independence and emotional wellbeing.
Support pupils to develop social, communication and life skills alongside their academic learning.
Prepare learning resources, classroom activities and equipment to support high-quality teaching.
Help create an organised, stimulating and welcoming learning environment.
Monitor and record pupils' academic, social and behavioural progress in line with school procedures.
Promote positive behaviour using consistent, nurturing approaches.
Work collaboratively with teachers and the wider multidisciplinary team to ensure every pupil receives the support they need.
Safeguard and promote the welfare of all children and young people.

About You

We're looking for someone who:

- Holds GCSE English and Maths at Grade 4/C or above (or equivalent).
- Has a genuine passion for supporting children and young people with additional needs.
- Is patient, compassionate and resilient, with the ability to build positive relationships.
- Is proactive, adaptable and enjoys finding creative ways to engage pupils.
- Works well as part of a supportive team while also using their own initiative.
- Has basic IT skills and is confident maintaining records where required.
- Holds a full UK Driving Licence.
- Experience working with children or young people with SEN, SEMH or additional needs is desirable but not essential—we're looking for the right values and attitude.

About Us

Fieldstone School is an independent day school supporting some of the most vulnerable young people in society aged 5–16—students who may struggle to access mainstream education for a variety of reasons. These can include behavioural, emotional, or educational challenges, difficulties associated with the autistic spectrum, sensory processing disorders, attachment difficulties, or experiences of trauma.

We are committed to ensuring that every student reaches their full potential academically and personally. As a day school, we provide an alternative to residential education, helping students develop independence, social skills, and resilience while remaining in their home environment.

Fieldstone School operates in line with Devon County Council’s Section 175 safeguarding requirements, demonstrating our commitment to the safety and welfare of all students.
