You'll be joining a charity that supports young people with SEN support needs as they transition into employment.
Theyve got some fantastic employers on board who really get it. The young people take part in a mix of classroom-based study (covering functional skills and employability) and hands-on work experience. What makes this role unique is that you'll be combining teaching with in-work support. That means being right there with them in the workplace, helping with reasonable adjustments, understanding tasks, performing duties, and liaising with employers. Any gaps or learning needs identified in the workplace can then be tackled back in the classroom with practical, tailored delivery.
When you first join, youll spend the first four months shadowing and working alongside the current tutor. Typically, thatll mean one day in the classroom, three days supporting learners at their work placements (at a large hospital), and one day for planning. Youll be working with a small cohort of 610 learners, all based in central Birmingham.
To apply for this role, youll need either:
- A Level 5 teaching qualification (QTS, PGCE, DTLLS, etc.) from any teaching background, along with a desire to support SEN learners in a work-based setting
or - A Level 3 teaching qualification (AET/PTLLS) plus solid teaching experience, ideally in functional skills. If so, the charity will fund your Level 5 qualification after six months.
