About the Role:
We are seeking an experienced and proactive Support Team Leader to join our Learning Support Team on a maternity cover basis at our Ystrad Mynach Campus. The postholder will lead and coordinate high‑quality support for learners with Additional Learning Needs (ALN), ensuring full compliance with the Additional Learning Needs and Education Tribunal (Wales) Act 2018 and associated Code. This role will oversee the planning, delivery and evaluation of learner support, taking a person‑centred, outcomes‑focused approach that promotes inclusion, independence and positive progression for all learners.
All staff employed at Coleg yCymoedd have a responsibility to safeguard and promote the welfare of learners, and all those working at the College are expected to uphold this commitment. As part of our safer recruitment processes, all new starters must successfully complete the required preemployment checks prior to commencing employment. This includes an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check. For roles that involve direct interaction with learners, registration with the Education Workforce Council (EWC) is also a mandatory requirement.
We are a values driven organisation committed to employing a diverse workforce and fostering an inclusive environment where colleagues are respected and supported to be themselves. We treat every individual with dignity, fairness, and respect.
As a Disability Confident Leader, we actively encourage applications from individuals of all backgrounds and communities, particularly in relation to age, disability, gender identity, sexual orientation, race, religion and/or belief. We are committed to removing barriers and making our recruitment processes as inclusive and accessible as possible.
We welcome applications in both Welsh and English. Applications submitted in Welsh will not be treated less favourably than those submitted in English. If you are a Welsh speaker or learner, we would be delighted to receive your application.
Roles at Coleg y Cymoedd are campus based to support teaching, learner experience and service delivery.
Postholders may request flexible working, including limited remote working, through the College’s Flexible Working Process (a statutory day one right). Requests are considered individually based on role needs and service coverage.
Candidates or employees with accessibility or reasonable adjustment needs are encouraged to discuss these with the People & Culture team.
