Outreach Teaching Assistant

The role of Outreach Teaching Assistant is to help neurodivergent students overcome barriers to attendance, re‑engage with education, and achieve their vocational, functional, and personal development goals, with the aim of reintegrating the learner into college. This is a part time, flexible position. You will have an active role in visiting learners in their homes, and assisting learners on training courses to help them progress into education, employment, training or volunteering.

You will be responsible for teaching employability, functional and life skills, to our most challenging and disengaged young people who may have learning difficulties.

As an Outreach Teaching Assistant, you will support the Tutor and leadership team in ensuring the courses run effectively and the service provided reflects the ethos of the company. You will support the Tutors and leadership teams in ensuring directives and policies are reflected and implemented in everyday practice. You will be line managed by your Cluster Lead, but also report to your designated Tutor and other leaders.

At times you may be required to cover classes while the Tutor is called away or in situations such as sickness. The TA would be provided with the lesson plan for those sessions and the support of another TA or member of the Team. Teaching time for Teaching Assistants is paid at a higher rate.
