Learning Support Assistant; Term Time

Learning Support Assistant – Watford Campus

An exciting opportunity has become available for a Learning Support Assistant to join our highly successful Additional Learning Support team based at our Watford Campus. The team provides a range of support for students with a wide range of learning difficulties and/or disabilities to enable them to access the educational opportunities offered by the College.

Your focus will be supporting learners in the classroom and assisting teaching staff in a range of practical and theory-based lessons to meet the needs of students. You will also spend some time supporting learners in out‑of‑class support sessions, working on individualised targets and helping to develop independent study skills.

A pro‑active and resourceful, learner‑focused approach is required as you will be involved in creating individual support strategy plans, working collaboratively with curriculum‑based colleagues.

You must enjoy working with people and have excellent communication skills as you will need to engage and motivate students who need encouragement with their studies. Experience working with young people and/or adults with a range of learning difficulties and disabilities is desirable.

Ideally you will be educated to at least Level 3 with qualifications in English and maths. Some knowledge of Educational Health Care Plans (EHCPs) and the procedure associated with gathering information for annual review meetings is desirable, but full training will be provided.

The role is term‑time only, working 37 hours per week.

You’ll have the full support of a dynamic team and opportunities to bring your ideas to the role. Training and development are at the heart of everything we do so you’ll be encouraged to upskill.

You can access a wide range of discounts and benefits including a cycle‑to‑work scheme, free on‑site parking, and generous pension.

If you have any questions or queries, please contact a member of the Human Resources team who will be happy to help.
