United Colleges Group (UCG) is based at the heart of the education sector in London.  With a combined turnover of £50m, the Group has both the ambition and strength to create a lasting difference in the local communities it serves, and beyond.

The Additional Learning Support (ALS) Department has opportunities for suitably experienced Learning Support Assistants to support a cohort of students who are studying a range of Level 1, 2, and 3 vocational programmes including English and Maths. The role will involve supporting SEN learners in and out of class on a 1:1 and small group basis. Successful candidates will also be expected to support students to raise their employability prospects and will have high aspirations for our ALS learners’ achievement and destination outcomes.

The successful candidates should have an active interest in education and supporting young people with Special Education Needs. The role involves supporting teachers in class to ensure that class activities and tasks are accessible to all our learners and promotes inclusivity. The ideal candidates are dynamic, driven and creative, and ambitious for all of their students to achieve and progress. You will actively assist in adding value to our student’s skillset whilst they are at UCG as well as being committed to being a proactive and solution-focused member of the ALS team. You should scaffold learning for students whilst also supporting them to develop their independence and own critical thinking.

Excellent communication, administration and interpersonal skills are essential in this role, alongside a student-centered and solution-focused attitude. A commitment to working effectively as part of a team and to make positive and innovative contributions are also essential in this role. The role includes completing detailed records of work that are regularly reviewed and used to support reports and annual review documentation as well as other administrative duties.

In return, the Group offers generous annual leave, a defined-benefit pension scheme, an interest-free season ticket loan, cycle scheme, free sight tests, enhanced maternity and paternity leave schemes and many other benefits.

The College is an equal opportunities employer and is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of young people and vulnerable adults and expects all staff to share this commitment.  Successful applicants will be subject to full-vetting procedures including an Enhanced Disclosure and Barring Services Check.
