curriculum at the college, exploring key topical components, aimed at developing understanding of oneself, and the wider world and communities in which we live. Being able to motivate and energise young people, discuss potentially sensitive topics, and support learner progression through career planning, are all vital components of
the role. Challenging learners to enhance their performance on their programme of study through attendance support will also be fundamental to the success of this role.
