Criminology Graduate - LSA

A specialist mental health school in Swindon are seeking a Criminology Graduate to join their team in September, as a Learning Support Assistant.

As a Learning Support Assistant, you will work closely with students who face a range of social, emotional and mental health challenges, including trauma, anxiety, depression, PTSD, attachment needs, and low self-esteem. Your role will be crucial in helping them navigate the school day, providing academic guidance and therapeutic support.

Your daily duties will include…

Working 1:1 and in small groups with vulnerable students.
Learning and implementing a trauma-informed, therapeutic approach within the classroom.
Helping students build confidence, resilience and emotional regulation skills.
Tutoring students in key subject areas, particularly where they are less confident.
