Regent’s University London is committed to providing a peerless student experience. Recognising our diverse student body, the Specific Learning Differences & Disability Advisor will be responsible for diagnosing and assessing Specific Learning Differences (SpLD), providing tailored one-to-one specialist support and tutoring, and delivering targeted and comprehensive disability support to students with disabilities, including physical, sensory, and neurodiverse conditions, to ensure an inclusive learning environment.
You will work closely with academic staff, professional services, and external specialists to ensure the university remains compliant with disability legislation. You will conduct diagnostic assessments for students with specific learning differences (such as dyslexia, dyspraxia, dyscalculia, ADHD, and other neurodivergent conditions). Additionally, you will develop individualised support plans and provide one-to-one specialist support for students.
To be successful, you should have a clear understanding of, and empathy with, difficulties associated with studying with SpLD and a background of supporting students with a wide range of disabilities, including sensory, mobility, and mental health conditions.
Personalised education is our focus, and we believe every student is unique and exceptional. Therefore, you should be customer-focused, possess excellent communication skills, and have a strong interest in the student journey. You should also have a recognized qualification in SpLD assessment and diagnosis and hold a current practicing certificate for dyslexia tuition and diagnostic assessment at Higher Education.
Interviews are likely to be held during the week commencing 22nd September.
