Learning Support Assistant (Temporary)

The Perse Pelican School is seeking to appoint a Learning Support Assistant on a temporary basis, from February 2025 to July 2026. The post offers an exciting opportunity for an applicant to provide 1:1 learning support primarily to a specific child, whilst also working with small groups as required. Initially, the successful candidate will work at the Pelican and from September 2025 they will work at the Prep. They will work alongside the Head of Learning Support, the Class Teacher and Teaching Assistants, assisting within the classroom to create a positive and enabling environment that supports all children with additional learning needs.
The successful candidate will need to have a very flexible approach and the confidence to prepare, deliver and adapt learning to meet the children's academic and pastoral needs where necessary. The Learning Support Assistant may undertake a range of playground and lunch duties, and there may also be the opportunity to support in various out of hours school activities (our Larks and Owls wraparound care).
The Perse School Cambridge is one of the country's leading independent co-educational day schools for children aged 3-18, who attend our Pelican, Prep or Upper.
Our aim is to be a leading employer of choice. This means we strive to be a school where staff say they are proud and excited to work, and feel valued, respected and motivated.
We are committed to providing a very competitive salary and benefits scheme at the same time as offering a wide range of opportunities for personal and professional development. We want our staff to feel engaged and purposeful so that they, in turn, help pupils to be happy and successful.
