Runshaw College is one of the most successful colleges in the country, renowned locally and nationally for our outstanding results, friendly and supportive culture and focus on putting the student at the heart of all that we do.
We value our staff and students highly, and invest heavily in their development, support and wellbeing. Situated in Leyland, Lancashire, the College is near the M6, M61 and M65 and within commuting distance of Manchester, Liverpool and the Lake District.
Additional Learning Support (ALS) at Runshaw aims to enable students to maximise their potential. We view it as a positive model offering support for all students with learning difficulties or disabilities who wish to use the service. It plays a central role in supporting individual students to achieve their best and we have worked hard to ensure there is no stigma attached to using the service.
The team provides a range of support to meet the needs of individual students. This includes assistance with literacy, numeracy and study skills, personal care support, support for disabilities e.g. Dyslexia, Sensory & Physical Impairment, Autism, ADHD, Dyspraxia, and Moderate Learning Difficulties, as well as individual support on a one-to-one basis. All students, regardless of need, are recommended a package of support that is linked to their primary learning aim.
The Additional Learning Support team is led by the Head of ALS and there is a Senior Coordinator who has responsibility for the day-to-day operation of the service. Working alongside them are Specialist Inclusive Learning Tutors, Exam Access Arrangement Assessors, High Needs & Specialist Support Coordinators, Education Support Workers (ESWs) and ESW Team Leaders. Two Administrators support the whole team.
The Additional Learning Support Administrator has an important role, providing efficient and effective administrative and clerical support to the Additional Learning Support team. Duties may change from time to time to meet changing circumstances but will include all the duties deemed appropriate to supporting the Additional Learning Support function. These will include general office and reception duties like answering the telephone, electronic filing and booking appointments. The successful candidate will have to demonstrate high levels of accuracy in their work and a keen customer focus when entering special category data onto the College systems and working with colleagues across the College.
