Learner Support Officers offer one to one and group support to learners both inside and outside of the classroom through a range of activities based on individual learner needs.
We are recruiting to roles with a variety of hours on offer, with a minimum of 3 days per week.
Our Learner Support Officers work across a range of departments and provide support in classrooms, workshops and at social time, depending of the individual needs of learners and their timetable. These are rewarding roles where no two days are the same, and involve pastoral support, personal care and the chance to make a real difference to learners lives.
This is a chance to make a real difference to young people who need support in their educational career., Please note that all interviews are conducted face to face, we are unable to facilitate online interviews.
CWA is committed to safeguarding and all staff appointments are subject to satisfactory references and enhanced DBS checks. You will be required to provide references and undertake an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service Check as well as a barred list check. All shortlisted candidates will be subject to an online search.
