Durham, United Kingdom Beacon Support Full time

Beacon Support Ltd. are recruiting for a Specialist One-to-One Study Skills Support Tutor (ASC) to work with Higher Education students. The position offers flexible hours to work around you, whilst helping to make a difference to students’ educational experiences.

We have students with Autistic Spectrum Conditions, who require one to one support with their higher education studies. Tutors work with an Individual Learning Plan (ILP) and act as facilitators to help students develop learning strategies that will improve their study skills and enable them to become independent learners. This specialist support addresses the issues which some students might have in acquiring, recalling and retaining information in written and spoken language as well as the range of memory, organisational, attention and numeracy difficulties that students with ASCs often face when working in an HE context

**Requirements**:

- Teaching qualification
- Completion of National Autistic Society (NAS) online training modules, Autism and SPELL course, or relevant in-house and CPD accredited training (or willingness to undertake training)

This is a specialist role, so applicants should have substantial experience of working with students with ASC on a 1 to 1 basis, also experience of working with these disabilities in an educational/learning environment and a good working knowledge of assistive technologies and related AT study skills strategies would be desirable.

An in-depth knowledge and understanding of autistic thinking and learning is needed.

An awareness of the strengths which students on the autism spectrum can bring to a learning situation and the skills to help students to make use of these strengths and overcome barriers to learning.

**_Applicants must be willing to meet with students on a face-to-face basis if this is a request for their support provision._**

**Further skills/requirements include**:

- Excellent interpersonal and communication skills
- Ability to identify different strategies that enable students to build on their learning strengths

- Accurate spelling and grammar skills
- Reliability and punctuality
- Ability to maintain a confidential and professional working relationship
