Are you passionate about supporting young people to get the most out of their education?
About the Role
You'll join an education provider in the West Midlands, working alongside learners to help them stay on track, overcome barriers and plan their next steps. No formal teaching qualification is required — what matters is a genuine enthusiasm for supporting learners, whether that comes from education, care or another background working with young adults.
You'll be a consistent point of contact for your learners, offering pastoral support and practical guidance throughout their programme.
Your responsibilities will include:
- Holding 1:1 meetings with learners to discuss progress and set targets.
- Providing pastoral support to learners throughout their studies.
- Monitoring and acting on issues with attendance, timekeeping and behaviour.
- Supporting learners with their next steps, including UCAS applications, apprenticeships, further study and work.
What We're Looking For
Essential:
- A Level 2 qualification or higher in English and maths
- Experience working with young adults
- An Enhanced DBS, or a willingness to obtain one
Desirable (but not essential):
- Knowledge of additional learning needs
- Up to date safeguarding training, or a willingness to obtain it
If you're ready to help learners build the confidence and direction to move forward, we'd love to hear from you.
