Creating a safe, supportive and respectful environment that recognises the needs, preferences and maturity of Post-16 learners.

Working collaboratively with teachers, tutors and wider college support teams to meet outcomes outlined in individual Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCPs).

Encouraging the development of life skills, confidence and self-advocacy appropriate to a further-education pathway.

Person Specification

We are seeking caring, patient and proactive individuals who can build positive, professional relationships with young adults, helping them overcome barriers and build self-esteem.

Essential requirements:

A passion for supporting young people with SEND in a Post-16 or adult-learning environment

Strong communication skills and good written English

The ability to promote independence while offering appropriate support

Right to Work in the UK
