Kite TLS are urgently looking for an LSA to join our team in London, SW19 5JS.
We are looking for a warm and engaging LSA for 5 hours per week (Tuesday 10h00 to 15h00) to develop a consistent, long-term relationship with a young adult.
This role is all about building a trusting relationship and supporting him to develop his independence in ways that are meaningful to him. Sessions are largely community-based and could include visiting local cafés, shops, crazy golf, trying new activities, or simply spending time together on outings that encourage confidence, communication and decision-making.
You'll support him to continue developing important life skills such as shopping independently, ordering and paying for food, exploring new places and gently encouraging him to step outside his comfort zone while always working at his pace. Some sessions may involve helping him reflect on situations, manage social boundaries and build emotional awareness.
The ideal person will be calm, adaptable and happy to follow the interests of the young person while recognising opportunities to encourage growth and independence. A good sense of humour, plenty of patience and a willingness to think creatively are far more important than a traditional classroom approach.
This is a hugely rewarding opportunity to make a genuine difference in a young person's life while becoming part of a supportive and experienced team at Kite TLS.
If that sounds like you, we would really love to hear from you.
Rate of pay is £27 per hour for LSAs. We also currently pay mileage at 0.45p per mile.
Those of you who are interested in joining our already established bank of self-employed, sessional associates, should complete the "Work With Us" tab on our website www.kitetls.co.uk, mention that you are enquiring about the SW19 5JS area on Facebook, and our recruitment team will email you back with an information pack.
We can also put you in touch with our Programme Lead in that area, should you wish to have an informal chat with her, so please mention that when applying.
We look forward to hearing from you and let’s make a difference to this young person's life.
Home - Kite TLS Kite Therapeutic Learning Service has limited availability to offer support which will be dependent on the location and needs of the young person.
