Key Responsibilities:

* Provide tailored learning support to adult learners with additional needs

* Support apprentices in both classroom and workplace learning environments

* Conduct assessments to identify learning support requirements

* Develop and review support plans in collaboration with teaching staff

* Maintain accurate records and contribute to progress reviews

* Liaise with employers, tutors, and support services as required

About You:

* Proven experience in a Learning Support or ALS role

* Strong understanding of apprenticeships and adult education

* Experience supporting learners with additional learning needs

* Excellent communication and organisational skills

* A supportive, inclusive, and learner-centred approach

This is an excellent opportunity to make a meaningful impact by supporting adult learners to succeed in their education and career pathways
