Vision for Education is seeking an experienced Learning Support Assistant to work in an SEN School in Kidderminster on a full-time basis.

Hours 8.30am-3.30pm Monday-Friday

The role:

• As a member of the support team at the School, you will play a vital part in the day-to-day care, learning, and wellbeing of pupils with Severe Learning Difficulties (SLD), Profound and Multiple Learning Disabilities (PMLD), and complex needs.
• You will work closely with teaching staff, therapists, and the wider multidisciplinary team to deliver a broad, balanced, and individualised curriculum that supports pupils' academic progress, communication development, emotional wellbeing, and physical needs.
• Your role will involve supporting pupils in the classroom, during therapy sessions, and throughout the wider school environment — including personal care, mobility support, and access to sensory and vocational activities.
• You will contribute to creating a positive, safe, and stimulating environment that promotes independence, builds confidence, and celebrates every child’s achievements, no matter how small.
• This is a rewarding and dynamic role that requires patience, flexibility, and a genuine commitment to making a difference in the lives of children and young people with additional needs.

About the school:

• The school is a specialist provision for children and young people aged 4 to 19 with Severe Learning Difficulties (SLD) and Profound and Multiple Learning Disabilities (PMLD), whose needs cannot be met within a mainstream setting.
• The school is committed to meeting the holistic needs of every pupil,academic, social, emotional, and physical, through a nurturing and inclusive approach. Its core values of enthusiasm, resilience, honesty, teamwork, and trust underpin all aspects of school life.
• The School delivers a bespoke Pathway curriculum that is broad, balanced, and highly personalised. Pupils benefit from access to outstanding specialist facilities, including soft play areas, a dark room, sensory rooms, a vocational hub, a hydropool, and a gym with rebound therapy equipment.
• A dedicated communication team provides continuous support and training within the school, for families, and as part of an outreach offer to external settings. Visitors are warmly welcomed, and appointments can be arranged via the school office.
