The Learner Hub provides a small, supportive alternative to the mainstream classroom for students who require additional help to engage successfully with their education.

• Support students across core subjects, including maths, English and science.
• Promote positive behaviour and help students develop confidence, resilience and independence.
• Help maintain a calm, positive and inclusive learning environment.

Who We’re Looking For

• A minimum Level 3 qualification is essential.
• Previous experience supporting children or young people on a 1:1 basis or in small groups.
• Experience supporting students with SEN, additional needs or barriers to learning would be highly beneficial.
• A patient, adaptable and supportive approach.
• Strong behaviour management and relationship-building skills.
• A genuine desire to encourage learners who may need additional support to succeed in education.
• A strong commitment to safeguarding and student wellbeing.
