Full job description

We are currently seeking a dedicated Support for Learning Practitioner to join our committed team, supporting children with Complex Additional Support Needs. This role offers a deeply rewarding opportunity to make a lasting impact in the lives of children and their families.

In this role, you will work closely with children for whom school has been a constant challenge. You’ll support their learning and development in our purpose-built school, creating a nurturing, inclusive environment that is responsive to each child’s unique abilities and interests.

Your day-to-day work will involve offering support in 1:1 and group settings, following individual support and learning plans. You’ll collaborate with teachers, carers, and families to support each child’s progress, while helping to create a safe, engaging, and fun learning environment. You will also play a key role in our relational practice through effective communication strategies and may be required to assist with personal care as part of your support.

We are looking for someone who is compassionate, patient, and resilient, with a genuine desire to help children overcome barriers and celebrate their achievements. Children’s behaviours can be most challenging, but all behaviour has meaning.

To be successful in this role, you should have experience working with children who have additional support needs in either an educational or care setting. Self-awareness and a solution-focused approach are essential, as is the ability to work well within a multidisciplinary team.

To apply you will either have or be able to attain a minimum qualification at SCQF Level 7 in an aspect of accreditation which adds capacity to our Curriculum and the eight curricular areas within it.

While not essential, it would be an advantage to hold a qualification in Support for Learning, Additional Support Needs, or Childcare. Knowledge of nonverbal communication is desirable. The team thrives on trust, respect, and positive culture carriers.

At CrossReach, we pride ourselves on delivering care and education that puts love into action. You’ll receive ongoing training, regular supervision, and opportunities for professional development, as well as the chance to be part of a values-driven organisation that truly changes lives.

This role includes a £2,156.18 per annum additional payment for loss of holiday allowance.

This post will commence in August 2026 for the new school term.

We also offer you a range of benefits that you would expect from an organisation that support others.

Firstly, there is access to a wide range of exclusive retail and leisure discounts through our rewards scheme and the Blue Light Discount card. We also ensure that your future and that of your loved ones is secured with a generous contributory pension plan and death in service benefit. Balancing work and family are made easier with our suite of enhanced family friendly policies and your health and wellness are prioritised with access to our health cash plan, giving you cash back for a wide range of health treatments. We even have access to a care concierge service to assist you with life's challenges, providing invaluable support when you need it most.

But we also know that your training and development is important to you, and as well as a contribution to your professional membership fees, we are keen to support you in making the right steps to learn, grow and develop in ways that are right for you.

CrossReach has been at the forefront of high quality social care for over 150 years, providing loving care to people of all ages and supporting them to live life to the full whatever their circumstances. During that time, we have worked hard to understand the needs of the people who turn to us for help and with them have been at the forefront of pioneering services which have literally changed thousands of lives for the better.

Today we are one of the largest social care providers in Scotland, with experience across a broad range of services. We are still growing, learning, and improving, thanks to the incredible people we have the privilege to support, and all those who support us. We are part of the Church of Scotland and aim to provide social care services and specialist resources in Christ’s name to further the caring work of the Church to people in challenging circumstances.

As we do our work in Christ’s name you must be respectful of our Christian Ethos and be able to work within it.

This post requires you to be a member of the Protecting Vulnerable Groups (PVG) Scheme and undertake the necessary vetting checks. You will also be required to be registered with SSSC and it is your professional responsibility to ensure that you meet the standards and criteria for registration.

We have a legal obligation to ensure that we do not employ any worker who has not been granted the relevant permission to work in the UK. This permission is without exception granted by UK Visas and Immigrations. We are required to check the entitlement to work in the UK of all prospective employees, regardless of nationality or job category.

We are committed to ensuring that we attract, retain, and develop the very best people to build a diverse and talented team and we recognise that every individual’s unique background, experience and ability contributes to our success. We aim to create an inclusive and inspiring environment where individuals feel valued and respected and where people can belong, thrive and be their very best, whoever they are.
