Job Title: Learning Support Worker
The Learning Support Team provides targeted support to young people, helping them develop core practical and academic skills, broaden their existing interests, and explore new ideas. In this role, you will deliver both group and one-to-one sessions, including tailored Maths and English tuition based on individual needs. You will work collaboratively with the wider team to ensure each young person has appropriate access to educational opportunities and engagement.

We believe everyone has the right to learn in a way that suits them best—so there's no such thing as a "typical" day in this role. Sessions can happen anywhere: from the beach to the kitchen, garden, or gym. Flexibility and adaptability are essential, as young people's circumstances may vary, including exclusions from school, transitions to new placements, or emergency referrals.
Minimum Requirements
1. Evidence of degree (BA, BSc in a related field such as Linguistics, Psychology, or Education) or PGCE.
2. Experience in identifying and assessing the needs of young people, setting clear goals through collaborative discussions, and effectively using relevant data for assessments.
3. Experience supporting young people to achieve learning goals, especially those who are underachieving, disengaged, or facing social and emotional barriers.
