Rugby, United Kingdom WCG Full time

**Protection of Children and Young Persons**

**Background to the Post**

WCG has three core values, the first of which is to put the student first. Young people have the right to request that an institution is named in their Education and Health Care Plan (EHCP), and local authorities have a duty to name that institution in the EHC plan unless, following consultation with the institution, the local authority determines that it is unsuitable for the young person’s age, ability, aptitude or Special Educational Needs and Disability or that to place the young person there would be incompatible with the efficient use of resources or the efficient education of others.

WCG is recognised as offering an inclusive and successful provision at all levels for Young People whose learning is affected by SEND

The role of the Learning Mentor is to ensure that all our students with SEND reach their potential. The main purpose of this Learning Mentor post is to work with students with SEND within their learning programme and help them towards achieving independence

The Learning Mentor’s time will be spent with identified students in the classroom/workshop/practical at Level 1 and on a mentoring basis with students at higher levels of study where the student has an EHCP. There will be a requirement to undertake administrative tasks relating to recording student progress and supporting student retention and achievement.

**Duties and Responsibilities**
- To provide support in-class, or mentoring support outside the classroom as directed by the SEN Team Leader
- To assist the class lecturer with the preparation of materials or activities for named student’s use.
- To actively promote and support independent learning
- To be a key worker for a number of designated students who have EHCPs and support the SEN Team Leader in the EHCP annual review process.
- To work closely with the personal tutor/Personal Learning Adviser to ensure that individual student targets are being monitored and reviewed.
- With knowledge/permission of personal tutor/ Personal Learning Adviser/SEN Team Leader/Specialist Support Lead, make contact with parents, either by telephone or in writing where appropriate.
- To act as a trouble-shooter and work with the students to ensure they meet deadlines and catch-up on any missed work.
- To attend Academy and Inclusion Team meetings.
- To undertake training and development as required. This will include College core training and the departmental mandatory Team Teach training
- To accompany and support students during work experience placements, and/or trips, if appropriate.
- Work collaboratively with College staff to produce Individual Risk Assessment, Personal Emergency Evacuation Plans, Medical Protocols and support the completion of exam access arrangements.
- To undertake administrative duties which will include keeping their own records, completing ProMonitor records, updating tutors with student progress reports and completing regular student support/progress reviews.

**In order to support during busy exam periods, you may be asked to undertake exam invigilator duties. The College will provide training.**

The list of duties is not exhaustive but outlines the main features of the post at appointment and may vary as the job evolves without affecting the nature of the duties or the responsibility level.
