Full Job Description
The Additional Learning Support area is responsible for providing additional learning support across College to full and part-time learners and supports approximately 1000 students on courses of all levels. Our aim is for all students with additional support needs to have equal access to the curriculum and work towards meeting their full potential with our support. These may have a range of learning difficulties/disabilities which include specific learning difficulties, ASC, ADHD/ADD Visual Impairment, Deaf and Hard of Hearing, Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH), and Physical Disabilities.
Additional Learning Support has a dedicated, highly qualified and experienced team. The staff work closely with Foundation Learning and Cross College staff in organising and implementing a wide range of support programmes each tailored to the needs of individual learners. We can offer Specialist Teaching, Specialist Assignment Support, In-class Support, Small Group Workshops, Equipment Support, Specialist Counselling, Mentoring, Exam Access Arrangements, and Assistive Technology Support.
Whilst a Learning support role will cover supporting students with all aspects of additional needs, the candidate for this role should have a willingness and understanding of the skills and knowledge needed to support young people with SEMH and complex behaviours
