Greig City Academy is seeking to appoint a Learning Centre Team Worker with the ability to break through barriers to learning and re-engage some of our most challenging and disaffected students so that they are ready to fully participate in school life. You will have day-to-day responsibilities that enable students for example, those with social, emotional or learning issues, to fulfil their potential at this crucial stage in their lives. 

Our school boasts a really positive and supportive relationship between students, staff and wider stakeholders. Ours is a well-ordered environment in which all students can enjoy learning, develop enquiring minds and acquire the skills and knowledge they need for a changing world.  

You will be joining an established team, dedicated to meeting the very specific needs of individual students who might otherwise be destined to fail in a mainstream school for example, students with persistent challenging behaviour. As a result of tailored and collaborative interventions, we know such students can thrive. You would play a key role in raising standards, helping these students to become productive learners with access to further and higher education or training and towards a successful future in line with their peers. 

The ideal candidate will be skilled in bringing out the very best in young people, have a flexible approach and demonstrate an understanding of the necessity to remove barriers to student learning potential. This is a full time position on a 40 week contract.
