Cardiff and Vale Colleges award-winning Inclusive Learning team are looking for Additional Support Assistants to support learners enrolled on level 1 - level 3 courses across the college.

**Responsibilities include**:

- Providing person-centred support to individuals and groups of learners that fosters independence and resilience.
- Contributing and participating in annual person-centred reviews for learners with statutory plans, such as Individual Development Plans (IDP).
