Learning Support Assistant - SEND School (Exeter)

Axcis Education is proud to be supporting a small, nurturing SEND school in Exeter as it looks to welcome a new full-time Learning Support Assistant to the team. This is a unique opportunity to work in a close-knit, caring environment where every child is given the time and encouragement they need to thrive.

You'll be joining a class of no more than 8 pupils, working side by side with the class teacher to provide tailored support, reassurance, and positive guidance.

About the school
The school supports around 120 children and young people aged 6-18, many of whom have EHCPs linked to SEMH needs, autism, and high anxiety. Some are school refusers, so patience, consistency, and a calm approach are key. The children are highly vulnerable, and the school's priority is their wellbeing, safety, and trust.

We're looking for someone who is:
• Nurturing and patient, able to adapt to lessons across mixed ability levels
• A calm, steady presence for pupils who may be withdrawn or anxious
• Creative and positive, with a love of the outdoors and hands-on learning
• A team player, bringing commitment and energy to a supportive staff group

The role
• Full-time: Monday to Friday, 8:30am - 4:30pm
• Long-term position: providing consistency that is vital for the pupils' progress
• Pay: £86 - £96 per day
• Location: Exeter (accessible by public transport; no on-site parking available)

This is more than just a job — it's a chance to make a real, lasting difference in the lives of young people who need encouragement, stability, and understanding
