Additional Learning Support – Higher Level Student Support Assistant

Join our friendly, thriving, and supportive colleagues here at Solihull Sixth Form College. We aspire to be outstanding professionally and personally, taking time to invest in everything we do, to develop transformative life chances for all of our leaners and to stretch their potential to the full.

Solihull Sixth Form College is a large, culturally diverse specialist in A Levels and Level 3 BTEC qualifications, and part of the Summit Learning Trust.

We are seeking a dedicated individual with a passion for providing exceptional support and making a positive impact on a young person’s educational success.

You will join a supportive and nurturing Additional Learning Support Team, committed to meeting the ever-changing educational and disability needs of our students. You will play a key role in supporting learners with additional needs, to identify and remove barriers to learning, enabling each learner to fully access their education. You will work closely with teachers and support colleagues and liaise with parents and carers when needed. In addition, you will assist with the Exam Access Arrangements process in collaboration with other team members.

The ideal candidate will be ambitious for our learners and dedicated to helping students with additional needs reach their full potential. This role involves working with students both inside and outside the classroom, collaborating closely with teachers, parents, carers and external agencies and providing support for both academic and personal needs.

You will hold a Level 3 or 4 Teaching Assistant qualification (or equivalent) and have experience supporting others, ideally within a Level 3 post-16 learning environment. You will demonstrate a strong understanding of Exam Access Arrangements and JCQ guidelines, along with experience in leading and supporting staff.

We are happy to explore flexible working, subject to the operational requirements of the role.
