The College is seeking to appoint a dynamic, enthusiastic and hardworking Learning Support Assistant to work in the Learning Support Department. The post holder will be required to provide assistance to the SENCO and Exams Access teams, carrying out administrative duties and organising cover for the absence of Learning Facilitators and teaching staff. Necessary training will be provided but you are expected to have good communication, interpersonal and IT skills, along with well-developed administrative skills.
The post is available immediately on a permanent, part-time basis (85.62%). The post holder will be required to work term-time only from 8.15am to 4.15pm, Monday to Friday (with 45 minutes unpaid lunch break each day), term-time only (39 weeks per year).
It is anticipated that the post holder will spend the majority of their time working specifically in the Learning Support Department, but a flexible approach to working will be required according to demand and the time in the academic year.
The post requires commitment and excellent organisational skills. The post holder will spend a significant amount of the working day in a busy office environment and will involve face-to-face interactions with students.
The post carries an expectation for some occasional mandatory evening activities (Open Evenings). However, there are numerous optional opportunities for evening work (Interview Evenings for Students) should the post holder be interested in them for additional remuneration.
The Department
The Department is housed in a specially designed area of the Priory Building, which includes an open plan area for students, and an office for one-to-one interviews with students.
The post holder will work closely with the well-established Department of seventeen other staff, who work closely as a team in a friendly and co-operative manner.
The starting salary for this post is £20,604.45 (£24,065 FTE). Progression is on an annual increment scale to £21,353.63 (£24,940 FTE) per annum.
