Full job description

About The Role

Paignton Academy is seeking to appoint a dedicated Learning Support Assistant on a maternity cover basis, working across our sites at Borough Road and Waterleat Road.

This is a rewarding opportunity to support students with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND), helping them to achieve their full potential both academically and socially.

About the Role

As a Learning Support Assistant, you will work closely with teaching staff and the Learning Support Coordinator to support the learning and development of named students. You will play a key role in helping students access the curriculum, engage in lessons, and make expected levels of progress.

Key Responsibilities

Provide tailored support to individual students or small groups, as directed
Assist in the delivery of planned learning activities and interventions
Support students’ academic progress as well as their social and emotional development
Help create an inclusive and supportive classroom environment
Work collaboratively with teachers, SEND staff, and pastoral teams
Monitor and report on student progress and wellbeing

We are looking for someone who:

Has experience working with children or young people (school-based experience desirable)
Is committed to supporting students with SEND to achieve positive outcomes
Is enthusiastic, patient, empathetic, and approachable
Has strong communication and teamwork skills
Is organised, reliable, and able to use their initiative
Can build positive, professional relationships with students and colleagues

This is offered on a Fixed Term basis covering maternity leave.

About Us

At Paignton Academy, we focus on developing well-rounded students who excel academically and grow socially, emotionally, and morally. We inspire our students to be kind, resilient, and responsible, preparing them to face challenges and contribute positively to society.

Paignton Academy is on a significant improvement journey which was recognised in its most recent Ofsted report (December 2024):

The school has redesigned its curriculum to be broad and ambitious. The knowledge pupils will learn is organised in a logical order. The impact of these improvements is evident in key stage 3, where pupils demonstrate they know and remember more of what they have been taught.

Since the previous inspection, the quality of provision for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) has improved. Pupils’ needs are identified quickly, and appropriate support is put in place. Teachers have a growing understanding of how to adapt their teaching successfully for the benefit of these pupils. The school ensures that pupils with SEND are included in the wider life of the school.

Pupils’ behaviour has improved. Lessons are calm and purposeful. The ‘speak up, speak out’ campaign has led to more pupils feeling confident to report concerns.

Why Paignton Academy?

Strong Relationships: We value respectful connections between students, staff, and parents, working together to ensure student success.
Love of Learning: We foster a passion for lifelong learning, helping students grow into curious, well-rounded individuals.
Community & Pride: We instil pride in both our school and the local community, empowering students to make a positive impact.

If you're passionate about shaping young lives and helping students reach their full potential, come join our team at Paignton Academy!

The Thinking Schools Academy Trust

The Thinking Schools Academy Trust is a family of schools across the South West, South, South East and East of England, consisting of early years, primary, secondary and specialist provision.
