Are you passionate about making a real difference in the lives of neurodiverse children and young people?

We’re recruiting a dedicated Learning Support Assistant to join a vibrant, specialist primary SEN school in North Liverpool, supporting pupils with Autism and PMLD. 

This is a great opportunity for a new or experienced educator to become a familiar face in a school where staffing, culture and community go hand in hand.

You’ll be joining a supportive, inclusive school that puts wellbeing and community at the centre of everything they do. It’s a good fit for someone who wants to become a familiar face in a school that values consistency.

What you’ll be doing:

• Supporting pupils with autism and complex needs in the classroom and beyond

• Implementing tailored strategies to promote engagement, regulation, and learning

• Working closely with teachers and therapists to deliver individualised support

• Building trusted relationships with pupils, families, and colleagues

What we’re looking for:

• Proven SEN experience, ideally in autism-specialist or complex needs settings

• Strong classroom experience across early years, primary or secondary

• Confidence managing behaviours with empathy and structure

• A calm, resilient, and proactive approach to support

Benefits:

• Competitive rates of pay with temp-to-perm routes available.
• Speedy registration process & fast-track compliance – APSCo Compliance+ accredited for the highest safer recruitment standards.
• Flexible days and working hours to suit your schedule.
• Culture-matched placements – we take the time to understand you and find schools that fit your values and strengths.

• 5+ CPD courses completed before placement (including Safeguarding, SEND & Behaviour) with access to further accredited training through Milk Academy.
• FREE PSHE lesson plans and resources, designed by real teachers.
• FREE Educator Wellbeing resources and access to our community hub – because we believe supported staff stay longer and make a bigger impact.
• School Preparation Pack with handover notes and insightful school guides – so you walk in ready on day one.
• 24/7 support from your personal consultant, directly through their work mobile phone to ensure your journey is personal.
