Salary: £8.60p.h

We are looking to recruit an ALN admin apprentice to work alongside experienced teachers and undertake the following duties:

• Manage student records and plans
  They keep track of students identified with ALN (Additional Learning Needs) and maintain documents like Individual Development Plans (IDPs). This includes updating records, ensuring legal requirements are met, and keeping everything organised.
• Coordinate support services
  They act as a hub between teachers, teaching assistants, parents, and external professionals (like educational psychologists or therapists). If a student needs extra support, the ALN admin helps make sure it’s arranged and communicated properly.
• Support the ALNCo (Additional Learning Needs Coordinator)
  The ALNCo leads the strategy, while the admin handles much of the administrative workload—scheduling meetings, preparing paperwork, and tracking progress data.
• Organise meetings and reviews
  They arrange review meetings for students with ALN, invite relevant staff and parents, and record outcomes. These reviews are important to check whether support is working.
• Ensure compliance with regulations
  In places like Wales (which uses the ALN system), schools must follow strict legal guidelines. The admin helps make sure deadlines, documentation, and processes meet those requirements.
• Handle communication
  They often respond to emails or queries from parents and staff about support arrangements, making sure everyone stays informed.

As part of this apprenticeship, the successful candidate will undertake a structured training programme that includes:

• On-the-job training – gaining practical experience within a school / office setting.
• Off-the-job training – attending sessions covering safeguarding, behaviour management, child development, and learning strategies.
• Regular assessments and feedback to track progress and improve skills.
• Additional learning support, particularly in literacy, numeracy, and communication.

This is an excellent opportunity to develop a career in education with progression opportunities available upon successful completion.

• A strong interest in working in an educational setting.
• A willingness to learn and undertake professional training.
• A commitment to completing the apprenticeship and gaining the qualification.
• Good communication, teamwork, and interpersonal skills.
