About Personalised Learning College

PLC is a county-wide, person-centred programme supporting young people aged 16+ with Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCPs). We offer a vibrant and inclusive learning environment that empowers learners to follow personalised pathways toward independence, employment, and community participation.

Our Three Core Pathways:

• Personal Progress – Focuses on independence, communication, and self-confidence.
• Towards Independence – Builds functional skills, personal safety awareness, and community engagement.
• Towards Employment – Prepares learners for the workplace through accredited qualifications and work experience, often leading to Supported Internships.

The Role

As a Teacher, you will:

• Provide excellent teaching, learning and assessment strategies.
• Provide reports to evidence learning for EHCP reviews, ensuring the learner’s voice is central.
• Supervise and coordinate the ATA and GTA support team within your sessions.
