Dear Hiring Manager,
Protocol Education's Learning Support Assistant role at your specialist Wiltshire school aligns directly with my commitment to supporting children with complex special educational needs. The opportunity to work daily with pupils presenting ASD, MLD, SLD and PMLD — and to develop skills through your CPD Academy — is precisely the environment I am seeking.
My background in supporting children with additional needs has equipped me with practical strategies for building trust quickly, managing challenging behaviour calmly, and contributing positively to a structured classroom team. I hold a valid enhanced DBS and am registered with the DBS Update Service, ensuring I am ready to begin without delay.
