About the role:
If you have experience and a passion for supporting students with specific learning needs, supporting their academic and personal development to enable them to succeed, then our Additional Learning Support Assistant role could be for you.
We are keen to hear from applicants with previous experience of supporting students in class using their knowledge of SEND education, particularly in relation to students with an Educational Health Care Plan, as well as developing aspects of positive social communication and interaction.
At Monoux, staff work in an environment that prioritises teaching, student support and teamwork. Behaviour is well managed, and the campus is calm with a productive working atmosphere. This opportunity would suit candidates who are experienced practitioners and those looking for an entry into the Post 16 education sector.
The ALS Assistant position plays an important role in collaborative working within the wider support team of personal mentors, guidance counsellors and the counselling team, as well as with curriculum staff and external professionals, where regular liaison and evaluation of support strategies are discussed and adapted. Ultimately this role is designed to enable our SEND student cohort to become more independent learners by providing them with the strategies and skills needed to develop their confidence and capacity to work more autonomously.
During busy periods, the working environment is fast paced and there is an expectation that the post holder will contribute more broadly towards college processes such as entry periods or exam cycles when needed, as well as maintaining accurate records that will feed into termly student reviews.
