To support students across our school, we have developed a bespoke Learning Hub provision. This supports a range of students who are unable to access all or part of their usual curriculum for a variety of reasons, including:

• Induction for new students joining the school
• Students with short‑term physical injuries that limit movement across the site
• Students following modified timetables to meet individual needs
• Students reintegrating back to school following absence or illness

This role involves providing day‑to‑day supervision and support for a small number of students working within the Learning Hub. Typically, students access the Hub for a short period of time or for agreed, timetabled sessions each week. The provision also includes some lunchtime and after‑school sessions.

We are seeking a committed and adaptable individual with excellent communication skills and the ability to identify and reduce barriers to learning.

You will:

• Liaise with subject departments to support students in continuing their learning outside of the classroom
• Provide structured support for students following modified timetables or temporary alternative provision
• Facilitate the delivery of additional qualifications and enrichment activities
• Communicate regularly with classroom teachers to ensure continuity and progress
• Promote positive attitudes to learning and support students’ inclusion within the wider school community
• Build effective relationships with students, staff and parents
• Deliver bespoke interventions to individual/small groups of students to help remove barriers to learning.
• Support students’ social, emotional and academic development
• Engage in ongoing professional development

This school is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people/vulnerable adults and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.
