Are you looking for a rewarding, term-time only role supporting young people with disabilities to make the most of their time at college? Join award-winning National Star College at our new Worcester based project as a care and education support worker supporting our students with varied and complex disabilities to learn, develop and flourish whilst maintaining their health and wellbeing, so they can reach their full potential whilst at College.
The young adults aged 16-25 years that learn with us as day students have big personalities and even bigger ambitions to make the most of their education so that they can live as independently as possible.
As a care and education support worker, you will provide both personal care and learning support during therapeutic, social and educational activities. Enthusiasm, professionalism and a strong work ethic is essential, as well as being able to demonstrate a positive attitude towards the aspirations of young people with disabilities. You will be a self-starter who can use your own initiative, be able to manage change and show resilience when things don’t go to plan.
Experience of working with people with learning and/or physical disabilities and a Level 2 qualification in care or learning support is desirable for this role. In return, we offer excellent training and development opportunities and support for you to develop your long-term career with us.
Our preference is for people who can work 5 days a week, and you will need to be available between 8.30am – 4:30 pm (5pm one evening a week for team meeting) Monday to Friday, for 39 weeks, term-time.
Our pay rate for this role is £11.60 per hour – working the full hours for this role (41 hours a week) your annual salary would be approximately £20,753.
Please note that we are not able to offer visa sponsorships for this role and are unable to consider secondary employment part-time contracts.
