About this Role

We are seeking to appoint a dedicated Learning Support Assistant on a fixed term contract for the 2026/27 academic year. This post could be a springboard into a career in Teaching for graduate and under-graduate applicants. Previous experience of supporting children with special educational needs is desirable, but not essential.  

We are looking for candidates ideally with a background in either Maths or Science, although not essential, who set themselves high personal standards and who are keen to develop professionally.  The successful applicant will put the experience of our young people at the heart of their practice; someone eager to extend children’s learning and promote the spiritual, moral, cultural, emotional and social development of our students and the community life.

This is a full-time position, 35 hours per week, Monday to Friday, term time only plus 5 Inset days and Open Day (177 days). In return we offer a competitive salary and a range of benefits including free lunches and refreshments, contributory pension scheme, free annual flu vaccination, eye care vouchers, use of the Fitness Suite, car parking on site and access to an online employee benefits hub including discounted gift cards, cycle to work and tech schemes.

Candidates must have a willingness to play a full part in the extra-curricular life of the College and be in sympathy with its Catholic ethos.

St Columba’s College is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. All postholders will be required to undergo child protection screening appropriate to the post, including reference checks with past employers and the Disclosure and Barring Service.
