​Uniform Education: Seeking Inspiring Female Learning Support Assistants to Empower Young Pupils

At Uniform Education, we are committed to helping children and young people with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND), including those with Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).

For many pupils, having a strong and supportive role model can make a real difference in their education and personal development. That’s why we are particularly looking for female Learning Support Assistants (LSAs), Teaching Assistants (TAs), and SEN Support Staff who can bring empathy, guidance, and encouragement into the classroom.

Why Female Role Models Are So Important

In schools across London, many young people benefit greatly from consistent and positive female role models. Pupils with SEMH and ASD often need extra support to build resilience, manage emotions, and develop self-confidence. Female LSAs and TAs can provide a nurturing influence, helping pupils to feel safe, understood, and motivated to engage with learning.

We are particularly keen to hear from women who:

  • Have experience working with young people in schools, childcare, or community settings.

  • Come from backgrounds in sports, youth work, or mentoring, bringing transferable skills into education.

  • Have shown resilience in their own lives and now want to give back to their communities by helping the next generation.

Essential Requirements

All applicants must meet safeguarding standards to work with children:

  • A clear and valid DBS check is required.

  • Dedication to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of young people.

  • Strong communication skills and the ability to build trust with pupils.

  • Patience, empathy, and resilience.
