We’re working with a supportive primary school in Lawrence Weston looking for a Flexible Learning Partner to provide dedicated 1:1 support within a Year 2 classroom.

This school supports a high number of pupils with complex SEND needs and is looking for someone who can bring patience, empathy, and consistency into the classroom every day. You’ll play a key role in helping a pupil feel safe, engaged, and able to access learning in a way that works for them.

• Creating a calm, positive, and encouraging environment for the pupil to thrive

We’re looking for someone who:

• Has previous SEND experience within a school or similar setting
• Feels confident supporting children with complex additional needs
• Is calm, patient, and proactive in their approach
• Can build strong relationships with pupils, staff, and families
• Is reliable and ready to start ASAP

Due to the location of the school, driving is preferred. However, the school is accessible via train and bus routes.

• Enhanced child-only DBS on the Update Service, or willingness to apply for one
