Fairfield College offers a variety of study programmes for young people, developing skills for work and employability across a range of subject areas and sites. All sessions are supported by a team of highly experienced and qualified Learning Support Assistants. The ALS Manager leads this team, and the role of Senior Learning Support Assistant will be crucial in supporting the ALS Manager and to provide cover in their absence. There are two roles available, with an expectation that 50 % of the role will be direct in-class support.
As an emerging leader, you will have experience of supporting colleagues and a drive to learn how to lead teams. You will be willing to provide training and support to young people with SEND and to demonstrate high aspirations and a can-do attitude through your role modelling and engagement. You should have a commitment to achieving excellent outcomes in supporting colleagues to ensure young people achieve and progress.
You will be self-motivated with the ability to work independently, prioritising your workload. The post reports to the ALS Manager but you will work directly with other members of the college management team.
This is a term time only post + 2 weeks during college holiday periods to be agreed in advance with line manager and to meet business need.
