About the Role

An opportunity has arisen for a Learning Support Assistant with Medical Training to join a further education provider in the West Midlands.

• Assisting tutors with the delivery of sessions and the preparation of learning materials.
• Helping learners to access the curriculum and develop independent learning skills.
• Monitoring learner progress and feeding back to tutors as needed.
• Promoting a positive, inclusive learning environment for all learners.

What We're Looking For

Essential:

• Medical training relevant to supporting learners with medical needs
• Experience supporting young people or adults in an education, care or community setting
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills
• A patient, adaptable and proactive approach to supporting diverse needs

Desirable (but not essential):

• Experience working with learners with SEND or additional learning barriers
• Knowledge of EHCPs and learning support strategies

If you're ready to help learners get the most from their studies, we'd love to hear from you.
