About the role:
Please note we don't have a fixed closing date but instead will close the role when we have sufficient applicants to interview so apply soon to not miss out!
This is an opportunity to build a career at the intersection of technology, inclusion and education.
We are looking for an ambitious and curious individual to join us as an Assistive Technology Officer Degree Apprentice. This role sits at the heart of our work to ensure that every learner can access and benefit fully from their education, regardless of need or background.
You will develop practical, in-demand digital and technical skills while studying towards a BSc (Hons) in Digital & Technology Solutions. More importantly, you will apply those skills in a real environment, supporting students and staff across the College to use assistive technologies effectively and confidently.
From day one, you will be involved in meaningful work. You will help maintain and develop specialist software and equipment, support colleagues with technical issues, and contribute to projects that improve accessibility across our systems and learning environments. You will also play a role in creating training materials and delivering workshops, helping others understand and adopt tools that make a genuine difference.
This is not a purely technical role. It requires someone who is interested in people as much as systems. You will work closely with teaching staff, learning support teams and IT colleagues, acting as a bridge between technology and the classroom. You will also build relationships with external partners and stay up to date with developments in accessibility and inclusive technology.
We are looking for someone who is organised, proactive and willing to learn. You will have a foundation in ICT and a genuine interest in how technology can remove barriers to learning. You will be comfortable working independently when needed, but equally able to collaborate and contribute as part of a wider team.
In return, you will benefit from a structured and supportive learning environment, with opportunities to attend conferences, training and industry events. You will gain both a recognised degree qualification and the practical experience to build a strong career in digital, education or inclusion-focused roles.

About Us
The College
London South East Colleges (LSEC) is one of London’s largest and most successful further education providers, with seven campuses across Bexley, Bromley, Greenwich and Lambeth and around 1,000 staff. Each year, we support more than 13,000 students through a wide portfolio of vocational courses, apprenticeships and other programmes that are closely aligned to employer and industry need.
What brings people to work here, and keeps them here, is the sense of purpose. We exist to change lives through learning, and that ambition runs through everything we do. Our staff work with learners from all backgrounds, many of whom face significant barriers, and play a direct role in improving social mobility and life chances across south east London and beyond.
We are committed to developing our people. This includes high-quality professional development, leadership and management training, and clear opportunities for progression across the College and the wider Group. We encourage colleagues to develop their skills, share expertise and build long-term careers with us, supported by a culture that values collaboration, professionalism and continuous improvement.
We invest heavily in our learning environments, with modern facilities and strong partnerships with employers, universities and local communities. This enables our staff to focus on what matters most: delivering high-quality education and training that equips learners with the skills, confidence and resilience to succeed in work and in life.
LSEC is part of the Elevare Civic Education Group, which also sponsors London South East Academies Trust. The Trust is a growing and successful Multi-Academy Trust, currently comprising mainstream, special and alternative provision schools across Bromley, Bexley, Surrey, Sussex and Lambeth. This gives colleagues the opportunity to work within a genuinely joined-up education system, spanning schools, colleges and higher education.
The Group has also recently established the Elevare Education Foundation, a charity dedicated to supporting disadvantaged children and families across the region through targeted programmes and practical support. This reflects our wider civic mission and commitment to making a meaningful difference beyond our campuses.
With a combined turnover of around £130m and clear ambitions for growth and improvement, this is an organisation that is forward-looking, values expertise and encourages people to contribute ideas and shape the future. There has rarely been a more interesting time to join us.
