Are you looking for a rewarding, term-time only role supporting young people with disabilities to make the most of their time at college?
Award-winning National Star College in Hereford is looking for care and education support workers to help us support our students with varied and complex disabilities to learn, develop and flourish whilst maintaining their health and wellbeing, so they can reach their full potential whilst at college.
The young adults aged 16-25 years that learn with us as day students have big personalities and even bigger ambitions to make the most of their education so that they can live as independently as possible.
Our committed staff team put students first in everything that they do, being proactive, dynamic and collaborative for the benefit of the learners, whatever their ability. As a care and education support worker you will provide both personal care and learning support during therapeutic, social and educational activities.
Enthusiasm, professionalism and a strong work ethic is essential, as well as being able to demonstrate a positive attitude towards the aspirations of young people with disabilities. You will be a self-starter who can use your own initiative, be able to manage change and show resilience when things don’t go to plan.
Experience of working with people with learning and/or physical disabilities in education or care roles is required for this role. In return we offer excellent training and development opportunities and support for you to develop your long-term career with us.
You will be required to work between 8.00am – 4:00 pm (5.00 pm one evening a week for team meeting). The pay rate is £12.80 per hour, rising to £12.84 after you have completed your probation - annual salary will equate to £22,948 rising to £23,034 per year.
