Learning Support Teacher - Temporary 100%

Nord Anglia Education is seeking a temporary, full-time Bilingual Learning Support Teacher to join Collège du Léman in Geneva, Switzerland. The school sits on the edge of Lake Geneva with views of the Alps and hosts children from 2 to 18 years old, drawing learners from more than 120 nationalities to a genuinely international community.

The role centres on identifying students’ learning needs and helping them realise their potential in the classroom whenever possible. The Learning Support Teacher works closely with teachers, school leaders, parents and external professionals to ensure support strategies align with each student’s needs, and, where suitable, develops targeted interventions that can be woven into regular classroom practice.

Assignments are flexible and onsite, with the possibility of supporting students across different year groups and learning support programmes. This position suits someone who enjoys collaborative, multi-stakeholder environments and has experience supporting learners with diverse needs, including high-potential students.

Day-to-day in the classroom

In partnership with classroom teachers, you will plan, organise and implement targeted interventions to strengthen literacy, numeracy and language skills for students with identified learning differences, including those with high-potential needs. You may provide in-class support or small-group pull-outs as appropriate, and you’ll deliver one-to-one support for learners with significant differences identified through external evaluations.

You will also observe and evaluate students, work with teachers to provide classroom-management guidance for identified learners, mentor aides and support staff, and coordinate communications with parents alongside the classroom teacher and school leaders. Collaboration with the school counsellor and external specialists helps inform regular feedback to the principal and deputies.

Must-have foundations

Here's what you need to bring to the team.

• Experience designing and delivering targeted interventions to build literacy, numeracy and language for students with identified learning differences, including high-potential learners
• Ability to work in both regular classrooms and small-group settings, with the capacity to provide one-to-one support when external evaluations indicate it is needed
• Strong organisational skills and a track record of maintaining records for students receiving learning support
• A talent for building positive relationships with students and parents, while handling confidential information appropriately and collaborating well with colleagues
• Comfort using iPads and computers to stimulate learning, plus proficiency with standard office software

Nice-to-haves

These additional qualifications would be advantageous.

• Familiarity with the MTSS inclusive framework
• Experience administering standardized assessments and diagnostic screeners
• At least two years of special educational or learning support teaching in a diverse setting
• Experience in Speech and Language Therapy

Compensation and practical details

The position is a temporary, full-time appointment (100%), onsite at Collège du Léman in Geneva. The role includes the possibility of supporting students across different year groups and learning support programmes.

Tips to stand out for this role

Lead your resume with your teaching credentials relevant to the role, such as a BA/BSc with QTS or a PGCE/MA in Special Education (or an equivalent qualification like B.Ed or CAPSAIS/CAPA-SH). If you have Speech and Language Therapy experience, feature it prominently.

Show concrete evidence of the must-have skills by describing interventions you’ve planned and delivered, how you supported learners in 1:1 and small-group settings, and how you tracked and reported progress, including any records you maintained for IEPs or similar plans.

Be ready to discuss your approach to learning differences and collaboration with teachers, school leaders, parents and external specialists, as well as how you’ve used technology (IPADs and regular office software) to engage students and monitor outcomes.

Ask a precise question about how the school coordinates Learning Support with the School Counsellor and external professionals, how IEPs are written and updated, and how progress is communicated to principals and deputies. This shows you understand the role’s ecosystem and the importance of ongoing feedback.
