Learning Support Officer

30 Hours per Week, Term Time Only
The right support can change a learner’s whole college experience. Help us make sure it does.

Support is most effective when it is thoughtful, coordinated and focused on helping learners become more independent.

As our Learning Support Officer, you’ll lead the day-to-day coordination of support across designated curriculum areas. You’ll manage Learning Support Assistants, work with teaching teams and make sure learners with additional needs receive support that is well planned, proportionate and effective.

You’ll work with learners at different points in their journey. Some may be preparing to join college. Others may need support with transition, communication, mobility, learning, personal care or managing a complex combination of needs.

Your role will be to bring the right people and information together.

You’ll contribute to assessments, develop support plans, coordinate EHCP activity and help make sure reasonable adjustments are in place. You’ll also monitor whether support is working, using evidence to recommend where it should change.

This is a role for someone who can combine empathy with organisation. You’ll need to build trust with learners and families, give clear direction to staff and work confidently with curriculum teams and external professionals.
