We are a vibrant college and we work hard to make this a supportive and friendly place to study, with every student treated as an individual. We are an inclusive college with an excellent local reputation, and a firm belief in the value of effective partnerships that support student progress and success. The College has a strong focus on teaching, learning and assessment. Our core objective is to maintain our position as a high-achieving and inclusive sixth form college which inspires, supports and motivates our students to achieve their full potential.
We are seeking to appoint a skilled and dynamic individual to join our team of staff to support a student who has specific medical needs with their learning and additional support needs. You will proactively support teaching and learning, both in and out of the classroom including supporting learning with the student and generally under the supervision of the teacher. You will also ensure that all students, including those with potential additional support needs, are given the opportunities they need to reach and exceed their potential. You will provide specialist healthcare support to the student (tracheostomy care).
The role is a fixed term position until 31 August 2018 (term-time only, 195 days per annum, 31.25 hours per week).
You may already have experience of working with young people within an educational setting, or you may be looking to develop your career and believe that you have the skills and personal attributes needed to support learning within a busy and diverse college environment. Above all, you will have an interest in helping young people to achieve and progress to the next stage in their lives.

In 2020, Franklin will celebrate its thirtieth birthday by continuing to celebrate the fantastic achievements made by our students and the contribution they make to the area and to the country.
Franklin is, first and foremost, a college for our community. In 2018 OFSTED recognised the college as ‘embedded within its local community and creating an environment in which young people thrive’.
Our students go on to do great things, and we are delighted that Franklin students are more likely to gain good university degrees and more likely to be successful in securing employment than other sixth form college students nationally.
As a genuine Sixth Form College, (rather than a school-based sixth form or large Further Education College add-on) we are specialists, focussed entirely on sixth form provision. Our skills and effort goes in to supporting young people to make the transition from school to adulthood and to secure their future success. This means we provide a broad curriculum tailored to the needs of young people, taught by staff who are specialists in their subject area and supported by a whole college which is focussed on the phase of a young person’s life that spans leaving school to entering the world of higher education or work.
Our college campus on Chelmsford Avenue is spacious and well equipped to provide students with the range of experiences they need to develop their independence and prepare for their future, both educationally and in terms of wider enrichment. We also work closely with our community to provide for basic skills support in numeracy and literacy in community centres locally.
As a community-facing college, we welcome employers and representatives from a range of universities into the college to advise and support students on an almost daily basis. We also have strong relationships with charity and other local and national interest groups, all working together to ensure that the young people of North East Lincolnshire, Greater Lincolnshire and further afield, see a clear line of sight to their goals and aspirations. Our Franklin Professionals Programmes are designed to engage those young people who have the very highest and clearest aspirations; from the Grimsby Town FUTSAL Programme to our Career Academies in Logistics and Law for example.
We are also a founder member of the Venn Group, working in partnership with four other Sixth Form Colleges in our wider region (John Leggott, Wyke, Wilberforce and Scarborough). This group forms an engine for quality improvement and staff development in the area.
Each year, hundreds of students move on from Franklin College to take their next steps into the world. We always look forward to hearing about their progress and are very proud of all of our students’ achievements.
