Job description

Are you passionate about supporting students to achieve their full potential? Do you thrive in dynamic environments where no two days are the same? We are looking for a committed and compassionate Learning Support Assistant to join our team, working across our Easton and Norwich campuses.

This is not your typical classroom-based role - you'll be at the heart of student life; you will be working with a range of students across the wider college environment. Supporting students with special educational needs, neurodivergences and complex medical and personal care needs across a wide range of settings. You could be classroom based or beyond from an engineering workshop to assisting in real-world learning environments like our hair and beauty salon. Helping students fully access practical, vocational learning experiences as well as in English, maths and subject theory classes.

But wherever you are placed, you will enable students with additional needs to participate confidently and safely in learning, and help them build strong, supportive relationships that empower students to grow in independence and confidence.

What Makes This Role Exciting

• A varied role spanning multiple campuses and diverse learning environments
• Opportunities to work alongside industry-standard facilities and teaching spaces
• Direct impact on students' lives - whether academic or their personal development.
• A role where no two days are the same
• We're committed to your growth too. You will be supported to work towards a relevant qualification, with the expectation to be qualified within 3 years, build specialist skills in supporting students with complex needs and gain experience in both academic and practical/vocational settings.

You'll be empathetic, patient, and resilient. Comfortable working across different locations and environments. Passionate about inclusive education and student wellbeing and adaptable - equally at ease in a classroom, workshop, or salon

This is more than a job - it's an opportunity to be part of a forward-thinking, inclusive college community, where you can make a tangible difference every single day while developing your own career.
