Job description
Full-Time Learning Support Assistant (LSA)
Location: Bristol, BS9
Position Type: Full-Time, Term-Time Only
Duration: Term 1 initially (with strong potential to extend subject to funding)
Start Date: 3rd September 2026
Are you a passionate, resilient, and nurturing educator looking to make a profound difference in the lives of two young learners?
A welcoming and supportive primary school in the BS9 area is seeking a dedicated full-time Learning Support Assistant to join our Year 4 team. This is a unique, deeply rewarding role where you will split your time supporting two distinct individuals, helping them overcome barriers to learning and thrive in the classroom.
The Role & Who You'll Be Supporting:
You will be working closely with the Year 4 class teacher to provide tailored academic, emotional, and behavioural support to two specific pupils:
- Pupil 1 (Female): A bright young girl who can present with challenging behaviors. Your primary focus will be implementing positive behavior management strategies to keep her engaged, settled inside the classroom, and supported academically so she can reach her full potential.
- Pupil 2 (Male): A young boy with low academic attainment. He needs an enthusiastic role model to help him bridge the learning gap, build confidence, and—most importantly—help him enjoy coming to school every day.
Key Responsibilities
- Deliver tailored interventions and adapt learning materials to suit both pupils' needs.
- De-escalate challenging behaviours with patience, empathy, and consistency, keeping the pupil safely integrated within the classroom environment.
- Create a positive, fun, and safe learning environment to boost attendance and school engagement for the male pupil.
- Track progress and collaborate regularly with the Class Teacher, SENDCo, and parents.
What We Are Looking For
- Experience: Previous experience working as an LSA, TA, or Support Worker within a primary school setting (ideally Key Stage 2).
- Resilience & Patience: Confident in managing challenging behavior with a calm, level-headed approach.
- Nurturing Mindset: Someone who genuinely cares about pupil well-being and knows how to make learning fun for a child who struggles with attainment.
- Reliability: As these pupils thrive on routine, excellent attendance and punctuality are vital.
- Qualifications: Team Teach or positive handling training is a plus, but not essential. An enhanced DBS on the update service is required.
What We Offer
- A highly supportive and collaborative Year 4 team and Senior Leadership.
- The opportunity to make a visible, lasting impact on two children's educational journeys.
- Potential for the role to extend beyond Term 1, offering excellent long-term career progression.

Roles
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.
How much work is there?
Generally speaking, we have consistently high demand for daily supply teachers in Greater London, Manchester Birmingham, Bristol and Leeds. Teaching assistant work is generally higher for long-term roles rather than daily supply cover.
Do you have primary, secondary or nursery jobs?
Yes. We can help with daily supply and long-term jobs in nurseries, primary schools and secondary schools. We don't typically have jobs in further education or college.
Do you have work for cover supervisors, invigilators, or school administrators?
While the majority of our work is for teachers and teaching assistants, we do also have work for cover supervisors and invigilators. Explain what you are looking for when you sign up and our team will help you.
What subjects do you cover?
We cover all subjects taught in primary and secondary schools - if you're not sure if we can help you with what you're looking for, please register and arrange to speak to a member of our Teacher Success team.
Do you do school admin jobs?
If you're looking for teaching or teaching assistant roles, and would also be interested in admin roles, it's worth letting us know. If you're only looking for admin roles, we might not be the place for you, as this isn't what we specialise in.
General
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.
