A welcoming primary school in the BS11 area is seeking a dedicated Learning Support Assistant to join their Year 6 team for the final term of the academic year. This is a critical role supporting a pupil who is transitioning to a specialist setting in September. The Role - This isn't your standard classroom support position. You will be working 1:1 with a Year 6 pupil who requires a high level of pastoral care and firm, consistent boundaries. - Your primary goal is to provide a stable, supportive environment for this student during their final weeks of primary school. Because of the specific needs of the child, we are looking for someone who can remain unphased by challenging behaviour while still building a rapport based on trust and empathy. What We’re Looking For - Resilience & "Thick Skin": The pupil frequently uses offensive language and will actively test boundaries. You must be able to remain professional, calm, and objective in these moments. - Strong Pastoral Focus: You understand that "behaviour is communication." You can de-escalate situations and support the emotional well-being of a child who finds the school environment difficult. - Consistency: A firm but fair approach is essential. You need to be the "anchor" for this student. - Adaptability: While the focus is Term 6, there is a possibility this role could extend or evolve within the school based on your performance and the school's needs. Key Requirements - Previous experience working with SEMH (Social, Emotional, and Mental Health) needs or challenging behaviour. - The ability to work full-time (Monday–Friday) for the duration of Term 6. - An enhanced DBS on the update service (or willingness to apply for one). - A "can-do" attitude and a sense of humour—it helps! Why Join This School? The school offers a highly supportive leadership team who will be "in the trenches" with you. You won’t be left isolated; you will be part of a team that prioritises the safety and well-being of both staff and students. A Note from the School: "We are looking for someone who isn't easily shocked. This child needs a champion who can handle the swearing and the boundary-pushing today, while still turning up with a fresh start for them tomorrow."…Learning Support Assistant (Year 6) – Term 6 Start Location: BS11 (Avonmouth area) Contract: Full-time (Term 6) with potential for extension Start Date: June 2026 Are you a resilient, calm, and pastorally minded educator who excels when the going gets tough?

FAQ

How is Zen different from a recruitment agency?

Zen Educate is a technology platform to connect teachers with schools directly. Agencies are an expensive middleman between schools and teachers. They have to charge high commissions because their booking procedures are largely manual and run on outdated systems. Because we run more of the process online or on your phone, we create an experience that delights schools and teachers at a fraction of the cost.

What roles do you cover?

We help Teachers, Teaching Assistants, and Cover Supervisors find work. We work with all types of schools and help with short-term, long-term and permanent roles. Many of our long-term roles convert to permanent roles. We make it far easier than a traditional agency for teachers to convert temporary positions into permanent ones.

What areas do you cover?

We work with over 400 schools in London, Manchester, Birmingham, Bristol and Leeds.

I don't have my documents right now. Can I still sign up?

Yes! You can sign up now and let us know what work you're looking for. You can return at any time to finish your profile and start getting bookings.

I don't have recent references, can I still sign up?

You can definitely still sign up! Once you've uploaded your CV, we'll be able to look at your experience, and help you figure out who would be best placed to act as your referees.
