Achievement Support Tutor

*Applications from all faiths are welcomed*

The College is seeking to appoint a well-qualified, high performing and enthusiastic individual to the Achievement Tutor post, who will lead and inspire students. 

The Achievement Tutors (ATs) motivate, energise and challenge students to stretch their potential to the full. The ATs act as a coach, providing students with individualised support and relentless positivity, whilst also signposting to appropriate internal and external career development events, to ensure students have a full experience of College life.

At Notre Dame Catholic Sixth Form College each individual student is central to all our endeavours. The Achievement Tutor structure was introduced to the College just over three years ago and has been a huge success. Each Achievement Tutor has sole responsibility for a number of tutor groups and provides support, guidance and encouragement to all students in their care.

As an Achievement Tutor you will be expected to demonstrate a consistent commitment to the guidance and challenge of students. You will help set and review learning targets, track student attendance and achievement through data monitoring, deliver the tutorial programme, agree motivational targets, manage 1-1s and produce student progress reviews. Where students are on T Levels, you will help set and review learning targets, track student attendance and achievement both when in college and when out on placement through data monitoring. You will be the main point of contact for the employers whilst students are on placement and ensure each students professional targets are clear and achievable. The nature of this post will require a clean driving licence and access to own vehicle for placement visits.

You will be responsible for overseeing the timely completion of students’ university and other progression applications and completing related references. You will be expected to work flexibly to ensure that the responsibilities of the role are fulfilled effectively.

The Achievement Tutor team have a very friendly and professional atmosphere within the department and a strong emphasis on encouraging a positive rapport between staff and students in the pursuit of academic success. There is a wealth of experience and professional knowledge and an encouragement to undertake CPD. 

This is a full time, term time only + 10 days post.
