You should be qualified to degree level and possess a relevant specialist dyslexia qualification (e.g. OCR L7 Diploma in SPLD, PG Dip ADDS or MA SPLD) or will be willing to undertake this qualification, together with an advanced level teaching qualification or be willing to undertake this.  You should have experience of teaching or supporting learners  with specific learning difficulties and preferably experience of assessing and supporting students with SPLD (Dyslexia).   You will need strong administrative and organisational skills, the ability to meet deadlines and have excellent communication and interpersonal skills.

The College has recently introduced a Working from Home policy. You may be able to work a proportion of your work time from home. Working from Home may be possible where this does not adversely impact on the operational needs of the College.
