We have an exciting opportunity for a Learning Support Assistant in our new educational setting for 14-16-year-old students located within SGS College's Stroud Campus. The setting will offer a core academic curriculum along with a vocation of the learner's choice, aligning with the vocations offered at the centre.
We envisage engaging 14-16 learners who are particularly interested in the creative industries and would benefit from more vocational education as opposed to the standard KS4 curriculum experienced in schools. These learners may currently have become dis-engaged or suffer with anxiety which has led to long-term non-attendance, have mental health concerns, be neuro-diverse or are simply looking for an alternative offer to school.
Our vision is to create an education environment that inspires you to be your best. With an aspirational, supportive and flexible curriculum, for 14-16-year-old learners' needs at its heart, enabling young people to learn skills, gain qualifications, improve confidence, be creative and respectful of their society and the environment to enable progression to the next step in their education.
If you share our vision, we would love to hear from you.
