Runshaw College is one of the most successful colleges in the country, renowned locally and nationally for our outstanding results, friendly and supportive culture and focus on putting the student at the heart of all that we do.
We value our staff and students highly, and invest heavily in their development, support and wellbeing. Situated in Leyland, Lancashire, the College is near the M6, M61 and M65 and within commuting distance of Manchester, Liverpool and the Lake District.
Additional Learning Support (ALS) at Runshaw aims to enable students to maximise their potential. We view it as a positive model offering support for all students with learning difficulties or disabilities, playing a central role in supporting individual students to achieve their best and we have worked hard to ensure there is no stigma attached to using the service.
The team provides a range of support to meet the needs of individual students. This includes assistance with literacy, numeracy and study skills, personal care support, support for disabilities e.g. Dyslexia, Sensory & Physical Impairment, Autism, ADHD, Dyspraxia, and Moderate Learning Difficulties, as well as individual support on a one-to-one basis. All students, regardless of need, are recommended a package of support that is linked to their primary learning aim.
You will work closely with the Head of ALS, the Senior ALS Coordinator, and other key staff to support an identified caseload of students with a specific focus on literacy, numeracy and study skills.
Within the first academic year, the primary focus of the post-holder will be supporting GCSE Maths.
To be successful in this role, you will need to be warm and approachable and be able to support students who have learning differences and/or disabilities in developing their skills in literacy and numeracy to help them achieve their learning aim in Functional Skills or GCSE Maths and/or English. Additionally, you will support students in developing their ability to study and learn effectively.
Closing date for this post is 12 noon, Friday 3rd January 2025
