Overview
Following approval from the Department of Education, NHSE was awarded funding to develop a NHS National Supported Internship programme for young people with Learning Difficulties and/or Disabilities (LDD) as well as Autism. This unique opportunity is to support students with their education within the Supported Internship programme called Choices College.

The vacancy requires working at various sites in the Hampshire or London area. A full driver’s licence and access to a vehicle is essential.
The Learning Support Assistant’s main duties will include supporting delivery of bespoke Employability training and functional skills to interns, supporting the delivery of sessions in a classroom setting, and maintaining weekly individual records for each student that meet inspection requirements.
