In this role, you will guide and support learners through weekly group tutorials and one-to-one sessions, encouraging them to set goals, overcome challenges, and stay focused on their studies. You will work closely with teaching staff and support teams to monitor attendance, identify students who may be at risk, and ensure they receive the right interventions. Beyond academic support, you will contribute to enrichment activities, promote wellbeing, and help create a welcoming and inclusive environment that reflects the spirit of Redbridge campus.

Who You Are:

You’re someone who connects naturally with young people and is driven by a genuine desire to help them succeed. You bring strong communication and organisational skills, and you thrive in a collaborative environment. Whether you have experience in pastoral care, youth work, or education, you understand the importance of safeguarding, equality, and student wellbeing.

• Provide 1:1 support to students, setting and reviewing SMART targets.
• Monitor attendance and engagement, identifying and supporting at-risk learners.
