Learning Support Assistant

An exciting opportunity has arisen to join our successful, happy and forward-thinking school as a Learning Support Assistant in our SEND department. 

You will have the opportunity to work under the guidance of the school’s SENCO and other teaching/senior staff in order to provide support in addressing the needs of students who require particular help to overcome barriers to learning. You will be required to support students with identified needs within classes, small groups and individual study. You will be working with a wide range of students with varying SEND needs who are academically able.

The successful candidate will be a team player with experience of working as a LSA/TA within upper Key Stage 2 or in a secondary school. The role is diverse and requires a flexible approach to support the students and promote their welfare, including providing general administrative support for the department.

The main campus for TWGSB is in Tunbridge Wells. However, you may be required to work at other campuses connected to TWGSB. 

We are currently undergoing a period of transformational change benefiting from a multi-million pound investment in Tunbridge Wells and a brand new building at our Sevenoaks campus, which opened in September 2021. In September 2025 Tunbridge Wells Grammar School for Boys will be one of the largest boys' grammar schools in the country. Here we all share the same vision: 'To be the best selective boys’ school in West Kent' and our journey towards achieving this continues to be an exciting one.

We can offer you the opportunity to work with highly able young people in a supportive, well-equipped and forward-thinking school. We offer a friendly and inclusive working environment and the chance to be part of a fantastic multidisciplinary team, who work hard and support each other to deliver personalised, bespoke education & care.

You will benefit from a positive working environment, with strong support for professional development and specialist teaching rooms. We aim for high standards and the pursuit of academic excellence, helping every student to reach their full potential through the development of skills, concepts and knowledge, within the framework of a caring community. Relationships between staff and students are based on trust, mutual respect and a determination to succeed.

Please note that we will only accept CVs that are accompanied by an application form (see below). We shall review applications as we receive them so apply early to avoid delay! We reserve the right to close this vacancy early if we receive sufficient applications for the role.
