Job description

Permanent - Full time 37 Hours per week

Practical Support. Real Confidence. Changed Lives.

At Wigan & Leigh College, Great People. Change Lives.

This is a hands‑on role supporting students across a range of practical and classroom-based learning. You will work with teaching staff in workshops, classrooms and practical learning spaces to help learners understand tasks, use equipment safely, stay focussed and build lasting confidence.

You might be supporting learners in areas such as art and design, health and social care, hair and beauty, hospitality or any of our vocational programmes. What matters most is your ability to encourage people, explain things clearly, keep cam when things are difficult and help students to take the next step. This isn’t a traditional Learning Support Assistant Role, it’s about helping students succeed in vocational learning - practically, personally and professionally.
