Join Our Team as a Student Support Assistant in ASPIRE

Make a lasting difference in the lives of young people.

The Governors are seeking to appoint a passionate, dedicated and enthusiastic Student Support Assistant to join our expanding ASPIRE Centre - a nurturing and dynamic environment designed to support students with a range of individual needs.

The ASPIRE currently supports 12 students, and we are excited to grow to 18 students by September 2025, with three small classes of just six students each. This structure allows for highly personalised learning and meaningful connections between staff and students.

As a Student Support Assistant, you will play a vital role in:

  • Supporting the education, personal growth and social development of our students.
  • Working with young people who have Special Educational Needs (SEN) or require assistance with Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) challenges.
  • Creating a safe, supportive and engaging learning environment where students can thrive.
  • Collaborating with a skilled and compassionate team to deliver life-changing support and care.
  • This is more than just a job - it is an opportunity to be part of a centre where your work has real impact, every single day. If you are someone who values inclusion, patience and resilience, and you are driven by the chance to help students overcome barriers and reach their potential, we would love to hear from you.

Why Join Us?

ü Highly rewarding role with visible, positive impact

ü Small-group environment for focused and meaningful support

ü Supportive team culture and professional development opportunities

ü Be part of an exciting phase of growth and innovation in student support
