- Manage paperwork effectively, i.e., completing time sheets and any reports required.
- You will be expected to represent Theorise in a professional manner, this includes adhering to our policies regarding confidentiality and safeguarding.

**Skills, Knowledge & Experience Required**
- We expect you to have good communication and organisational skills, a willingness to support students with particular needs, and an approachable, patient and understanding manner.
- Ability to communicate with the student to understand their needs and devise an appropriate plan for delivering support and how it will be used to achieve identified goals.
- Ability to understand the needs, objectives and constraints of others.
- Experience of working with students in a higher education environment on a one-to-one basis is desired.
- Knowledge and understanding of different learning styles and approaches to working with them.
