Our Skills for Life programme is aimed at young people with highly sensory needs and a range of PMLD. It operates from one our houses located in the village of Dilton Marsh, which has been converted into a Skills for Life Hub. The programme is highly personalised and uses the principles of RARPA.
The role of PMLD Tutor will lead a small team of Learning Support Assistants, developing learning opportunities that broaden Skills for Life, work towards EHCP outcomes and also engage and access the wider community and the world of work. Learners benefit from greater levels of support, specialist interventions and therapies and the staff team are highly trained to support young people and often develop specialist skills such as autism awareness, Makaton and PECS/AAC. The group generally work together with a close team and will cover subjects like money management, personal safety, accessing the community, leisure activities, problem solving and working as a team.
The role of PMLD Tutor is key to providing structure and support for young people with highly complex health, communication and learning needs. You will be experienced in a range of skills and expertise that support learning of young people with PMLD and be conversant with how to plan for, and deliver, high quality training for young people with highly sensory and profound needs.
