Are you passionate about supporting young people to thrive in school and beyond? The Gateway School is looking for dedicated and compassionate Learning Support Assistants (LSAs) to join our vibrant team.

What We Offer:-
A welcoming and inclusive school community

Opportunities to bring your own interests and skills into lunchtime and after-school activities
-
The chance to make a lasting difference to children’s lives
-
A supportive staff culture where your input is valued

-
Build positive, respectful relationships with pupils and staff

What We’re Looking For:We’re seeking individuals who are nurturing, reliable, and enthusiastic—people who understand the importance of emotional support alongside academic development. Previous experience is welcome but not essential; we value a positive attitude and a willingness to learn just as highly.
