Working with teaching staff, they assist in the delivery of vocational courses to support student inclusion and achievement. They are responsible for using strategies to support students with learning disabilities or difficulties or behavioural or emotional needs to achieve their learning goals, monitoring their progress, and providing regular and detailed feedback.
