• Delivering one‑to‑one and small group study skills sessions, both on‑site and online, using appropriate assistive technologies.
• Collaborating with curriculum staff and support services to ensure inclusive teaching and assessment strategies are embedded.
• Monitoring, reviewing, and reporting on students’ progress and support impact through accurate record‑keeping and quality data.
• Supporting transition and assessment processes for new and existing students with support needs.
• Contributing to quality improvement processes and sharing best practices to promote inclusive learning across the College.

We believe great people deserve great rewards. When you join B&FC, you’ll benefit from:

• Generous annual leave, plus 5 additional gifted days (pro rata for part‑time employees) to be taken during the Christmas closure period.
• An excellent pension scheme.
• Professional development and funded training opportunities.
• Flexible working options and family‑friendly policies.
