Our Supported Learning Department is looking to recruit term time only

Learning Support Workers, (LSWs), must have kitchen experience. The learners that you will be working with may have mild or complex learning difficulties or disabilities or autism. Most of our students are between the age of 16 and 25.

In this extremely rewarding role, you will work under the direction and supervision of managers and teaching staff to provide high quality and appropriately targeted support for learners to facilitate their independence, personal care needs, access to learning and integration into the College community. To help you achieve this, you will be working as part of a hardworking, passionate and supportive team that is committed to providing the best for learners to enable them to achieve their potential

You will work predominantly within the Supported Learning area led by the High Needs Support and Funding Manger and the Head of Faculty, and will be required to work with a number of learner groups and/or students needing 1.1 support across the Department.

The successful candidate will have sound literacy and numeracy skills, (Level 2 achievement/ability in English and maths), competent IT skills and be willing to undertake regular CPD. Experience of working with and supporting high needs learners within an educational context and a proven ability of building good relationships and working in a team are essential.

We are happy to receive both part-time fractional and full time applications but due to the nature of the role can only accept applications for a minimum of three days a week. These roles are currently based at our Lewisham Way Campus.
