  • Collaboration with Staff: Work closely with teaching staff and the Student Support Team to ensure the student’s learning plan is followed, and their needs are met effectively.
  • Study Skills: Help students develop study and time management skills to enable independent learning and progression.
  • Monitoring Progress: Keep detailed records of student progress and report regularly to the Student Support Team.

What We’re Looking For:

  • Experience in SEN Support: Previous experience supporting students with special educational needs is essential, ideally in a higher education or further education environment.
  • Strong Communication Skills: The ability to communicate effectively and build positive relationships with both students and staff.
  • Empathy and Patience: A caring, patient approach with a commitment to understanding and meeting the individual needs of students.
  • Organisation and Initiative: The ability to manage time effectively, work independently, and respond proactively to the needs of the student.
  • Relevant Qualifications: You must be educated to Degree Level with a 2:2 or higher.

Why Join the College?

  • Supportive Environment: Work in a collaborative and inclusive college that values the contribution of every team member.
  • Career Development: Gain experience in a rewarding role with opportunities for professional growth and development.
  • Purposeful Work: Make a real difference to the lives of higher education students by helping them overcome barriers to learning and achieve their potential.

Contract Details:
This is an initial 3-month contract with the potential for extension. The role is for 37 hours per week, working across Monday to Friday.

Please send your CV and cover letter to Kerry Fowler via the application link. Please contact GSL Education’s North Yorkshire office for more information.
