Job Description
As a Primary Learning Support Partner, you will work closely with Key Stage 2 pupils who need extra guidance to stay engaged, confident, and motivated throughout the school day. You will support children during whole-class teaching, small-group work, and individual tasks, making sure they receive the right level of explanation, encouragement, and structure.
Many of the pupils you assist may have mild learning delays, attention difficulties, anxiety, or gaps in understanding. You will break down tasks into smaller steps, use clear modelling, check understanding frequently, and help children develop strategies to approach learning more independently. Your role is split between academic support and emotional steadiness — ensuring pupils feel safe to make mistakes and keep trying.
Working closely with the class teacher, you will use tailored approaches to strengthen reading comprehension, writing stamina, and numeracy fluency. This position is perfect for someone who enjoys building trust, celebrating small wins, and helping children realise they are capable of far more than they think.
JOB RESPONSIBILITIES
Support pupils during lessons with clear explanations and modelling.
Lead targeted small-group sessions in reading, writing, or maths.
Help pupils manage transitions, routines, and organisation.
Build confidence through positive reinforcement and calm guidance.
Share observations with the class teacher to support planning.
Desired Experience
+ Qualifications
Experience supporting pupils in Key Stage 2.
Confident in delivering literacy and numeracy support.
Warm, patient communication style.
Ability to encourage independence and resilience.
Strong safeguarding awareness.

But, I don’t want to register with a supply agency, why should I sign up with Milestone?
We get it. Supply agencies can’t always deliver exactly what you’re looking for, but that’s where we’re different…
We’re an education platform service who partner with schools and MATs to support their recruitment, training and wellbeing needs. It’s in our interest to secure you a role you’ll love, in a setting you’ll want to stay in, with a view to progressing your career. If that’s what you want!
Our HR and Safeguarding team consistently go the extra mile to complete your checks as quickly as possible - at no cost to you. To put so much hard work and valuable time into completing these checks and then NOT deliver the opportunities you are looking for…? Well, we’d go out of business pretty quickly!
How much does it cost and how much will I be paid?
Our services to you are completely free.
Costs will only incur if you require a new DBS or OSPC, but don't worry - we can still put you forward for interviews while the applications in process, so you won't miss out on all the exciting opportunities!
All roles are paid in line with Teachers Pay and Conditions, or are matched with each school’s salary guidelines for the role you undertake. We'll always negotiate the best possible pay rates that reflect your hard work, experience and qualifications.
