Job overview

You’ll be part of a dynamic and supportive environment where no two days are the same. The role is ideal for individuals seeking meaningful, hands-on experience in an innovative educational setting.

Delivering ‘drop-in’ support sessions for students requiring

Collaborating closely with teaching staff to coordinate
and plan effective student support strategies.
Accompanying and supporting students during
educational visits and off-site activities.
Understanding and implementing exam access
arrangements, as well as supporting students during
assessments.
Additional Responsibilities
Administration
Manage and maintain SEND records, including
documenting interviews, phone calls, enquiries, and
collecting relevant documentation (e.g., student
statements and medical information).
Contribute to the creation and review of Individual
Student Support Plans.
Attend College Open Evenings as needed.
Student Recruitment & Initial Assessment
Assist in student recruitment and support initial assessment
processes.
Perform other duties as reasonably requested by your
Line Manager or the Principal.
