Are you looking for flexible work that fits around your studies or other commitments while making a genuine difference?
Equality Focus is looking for friendly, reliable Student Support Assistants to provide one-to-one practical support for disabled students studying in Greenwich and surrounding areas.
Every day is different. You could be taking lecture notes, supporting a student around campus, helping them access university resources or providing practical assistance that enables them to participate fully in university life.
If you are looking for meaningful work where you can develop valuable skills while helping students succeed, we'd love to hear from you.
