About the Role

An opportunity has arisen for Learning Support Assistants to join a further education provider in the West Midlands. You'll work alongside tutors and curriculum teams to support learners in the classroom, helping them to access their studies and build confidence in their learning.

You'll provide encouragement, practical assistance and a consistent, supportive presence throughout the working day, helping every learner to take part fully in their programme.

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Providing one-to-one and small-group support to learners with additional learning needs.
  • 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:

  • Experience supporting young people or adults in an education, care or community setting
  • Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with patience and empathy
  • The ability to build positive, professional relationships with learners and staff
  • A genuine commitment to inclusive learning and learner progress

Desirable (but not essential):

  • Experience supporting learners with SEND or additional learning needs
  • Knowledge of learning support strategies and assistive technology
  • A relevant qualification in education or support work, or a willingness to work towards one

If you're ready to make a genuine difference to learners' experience, we'd love to hear from you.
