About the Role

As a Learning Support member of staff, you'll work alongside tutors and teaching teams at a training provider in the South East, helping learners with additional needs access the curriculum and achieve.

You'll provide one-to-one and small-group support in and around the classroom, building the confidence and independence that allows every learner to progress. This is a role for someone patient, approachable and genuinely committed to inclusive learning.

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Providing one-to-one and small-group support to learners with additional learning needs.
  • Helping learners access the curriculum and develop independent learning skills.
  • Working closely with tutors to adapt learning materials and put support strategies in place.
  • Encouraging engagement, inclusion and positive behaviour in the learning environment.
  • Contributing to accurate records and learner support plans.

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
  • A genuine commitment to inclusive learning and learner progress
  • A patient, adaptable and proactive approach

Desirable (but not essential):

  • Experience supporting learners with SEND or other barriers to learning
  • Knowledge of EHCPs and learning support strategies
  • A relevant qualification in education or support work, or a willingness to work towards one

If you're ready to help learners overcome barriers and achieve, we'd love to hear from you.
