Your responsibilities will include:
- Supporting learners individually and in small groups to access the curriculum.
- Working closely with lecturers to adapt materials and activities to meet learner needs.
- Helping learners to build confidence, independence and study skills.
- Encouraging positive behaviour and a supportive learning environment.
- Monitoring learner progress and feeding back to teaching staff.

- Patience, empathy and strong communication skills
- The ability to work collaboratively with teaching staff
- A flexible and proactive approach
Desirable (but not essential):
- Previous experience supporting learners in an education setting
- A relevant qualification in supporting teaching and learning
- Experience working with learners with additional learning needs
If you're ready to make a real difference to learners in a further education setting, we'd love to hear from you.
