Job vacancy: Looking for Mentor / LSA
Calling all Learning Support Assistants!!!
Looking for a mentor / LSA for my 13-year-old son.
He really likes school but has ASD which means he gets very anxious especially when school. This anxiety gets in the way of his learning a lot of the time. He wants to do well at school and pass his GCSEs - likes most of the teachers except for a couple who don’t “get” him.
We are looking for someone to be in the classroom but not look over his shoulder or necessarily even sit next to him. That person would need to be able to monitor him and help him to cope with the busyness of the school environment so that he can get on with learning. He needs someone who he feels always has his back.
Someone who "gets" him is far more important to us than someone with a string of qualifications. Would be employed by the school which is in Kingston.
