About the Role
An opportunity has arisen for a Learning Support Assistant to join a further education provider in the West Midlands. You'll work alongside teaching staff to support learners with additional learning needs, helping them access the curriculum and get the most from their studies.
You'll provide one-to-one and small-group support both in lessons and around the wider site, building learners' confidence and independence as they progress.
Your responsibilities will include:
- Providing one-to-one and small-group support to learners with a range of additional learning needs.
- Helping learners access the curriculum and develop independent learning skills.
- Working closely with teaching staff to put support strategies in place and adapt learning materials.
- Encouraging engagement, inclusion and positive behaviour in the classroom.
- Supporting learners around the site as they manage routines and daily college life.
- Maintaining accurate records and contributing to learner support plans and reviews.
What We're Looking For
Essential:
- Experience supporting young people or adults in an educational, care or community setting
- Strong communication, empathy and interpersonal skills
- The ability to build positive, professional relationships with learners and staff
- A patient, adaptable and proactive approach to supporting diverse needs
Desirable (but not essential):
- Experience working with learners with SEND, SEMH or other barriers to learning
- Knowledge of EHCPs and learning support strategies
- A relevant qualification in education, support work or youth work
If you're ready to help learners achieve more than they thought they could, we'd love to hear from you.
