Achievement Support Tutor

*Applications from all faiths are welcomed*

Purpose of the Post: 

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 also 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. Each Achievement Tutor has sole responsibility for a number of tutor groups, delivering the weekly hour tutorial programme and will also live out our commitment of ‘high support and high challenge’ for every student to be ‘the best they can be’.

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 also be an additional point of contact for the employers whilst students are on placement. 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.

The College is committed to Safeguarding and promotes the welfare of young people and expects all staff, students and volunteers to share this commitment.

In promoting equality, we welcome applications from all sections of the community.
