We are currently looking for study skills/dyslexia tutors to help support students with their studies at university to ensure they get the most out of their work and university experience.

Students receiving your support will likely be dyslexic and/or have other specific learning difficulties including. In these instances, you will need to demonstrate specific experience of working with students with these disabilities.

**Your Role**: Tutors work with students on a one-to-one basis both remotely and face to face, to address the issues which some students might have in acquiring, recalling and retaining information in written and spoken language as well as the range of other difficulties that students with specific learning difficulties often face when working in an HE context.

Often, students will require ongoing support throughout their course; others might require less support as the course continues; while some students might need additional support as the demands of their course intensify.

You will possess an awareness of the strengths which students with specific learning difficulties can bring to a learning situation, and the skills to help students to make use of these strengths and overcome barriers to learning.
