Learning Support Assistant - Bank

Help Every Student Find Their Way to Succeed

Every student deserves the opportunity to feel included, build confidence and achieve their potential. For some learners, having the right support alongside them can make all the difference.

Stanmore College is looking for caring, patient and enthusiastic Learning Support Assistants to join our Learning Support team on a bank basis. You'll work directly with students with special educational needs and disabilities, helping them overcome barriers to learning, take part in college life and make the most of their time at College.

Join Us at an Exciting Time

Stanmore College is entering a transformative period, supported by a £60 million redevelopment investment that will create a modern, sustainable campus for learners, staff and the wider community.

As our College continues to develop, we remain committed to creating an inclusive learning environment where every student feels supported and has the opportunity to succeed. Our Learning Support team plays an important part in making this happen, helping learners access their studies, develop independence and make progress towards their personal and educational goals.

The Role

Working as a part of the Learning Support team, you'll provide individual, small-group and in-class support to students with a range of learning needs, disabilities and additional support requirements.

You will:

• Provide tailored support to help students access lessons, participate in learning activities and make progress.

• Build positive and trusting relationships, encouraging students to develop confidence, independence and essential life skills.

• Help adapt learning materials and activities so students can access the curriculum and take part fully.

• Work alongside lecturers to promote inclusive teaching and support individual learning needs.

• Monitor student progress, share feedback with teaching staff and contribute to reviews and support plans.

• Support students with additional personal needs where required, helping them feel safe, comfortable and included.

• Accompany students on external visits and contribute to the wider student experience.

Why This Role Matters

Every learner's journey is different. Some may need help understanding a task, others may need encouragement to participate, build relationships or become more independent. Your patience, understanding and consistent support can help them overcome challenges that might otherwise prevent them from reaching their potential.

It's about more than helping students with their studies. It's about recognising their abilities, celebrating their progress and giving them the confidence to achieve things they may not have thought possible.

About You

You'll have experience of working with young people or adults with special educational needs and disabilities, ideally in a school, college or other educational setting. You'll understand that every learner is different and be able to adapt your approach to suit their individual needs.

Above all, you'll be committed to inclusive education and passionate about helping learners overcome barriers, develop independence and achieve their potential.

Salary: £14.80 per hour, plus holiday pay
