In this role, you will deliver weekly group tutorials and one‑to‑one sessions that help students set meaningful goals, stay motivated, and overcome personal or academic challenges.

Alongside academic guidance, you will contribute to enrichment, promote wellbeing, and help foster the inclusive, respectful, and positive culture that defines Rainham Campus.
