  • Collaborative Training: Collaborate with academic staff and support training and development across the wider campus team on learning support matters.
  • Advocacy: Positively promote equity, diversity, and inclusion through all student wellbeing activities, advocating for holistic student needs.

  • Collaborative Approach: Value contributions from a broad range of perspectives and engage effectively with internal and external networks.
  • Educational Experience: Good standard of general education and substantial experience delivering high-quality learning support services in an FE or HE context.
  • Specialised Knowledge: Comprehensive understanding of SEND and SpED, up-to-date knowledge of learning support methodologies and techniques, and familiarity with safeguarding legislation.

We welcome applicants with experience within higher education settings working with students with dyslexia or other specific learning difficulties, medical conditions, neurodiversity, visual and hearing impairments, and physical and mobility issues.
