• Working 1:1, in small groups, or supporting whole class learning

• Helping students engage fully in college life — including trips, enrichment and work placements

• Using assistive technology and learning tools to enhance access

• Working collaboratively with teaching staff and parents/carers to monitor progress and celebrate achievement

• Providing personal care where required and supporting students with medical, physical or sensory needs

What you’ll bring:

• A genuine passion for supporting young people

• Experience working with individuals with SEND, SEMH or medical needs

• A strengths based approach that puts learner voice at the centre

• Excellent communication skills and a patient, positive manner

• Flexibility, adaptability and a willingness to embrace new challenges

• GCSE (or equivalent) English & Maths at grade C/4 or above
