We are seeking a committed, enthusiastic and talented individual to join our Guidance Support Team.
Pastoral support is viewed as a crucial element of the student experience, and the current Guidance Support Tutor (GST) system has been in place for over ten years. The Service comprises of a GST Manager and a group of GSTs who each have a caseload of students who they deliver both group and individual tutorials to, known as Prep. The group tutorials involve the delivery of a Tutorial programme to which all Guidance Support Tutors contribute.
The Guidance Support Tutors liaise with Progress and Engagement Tutors, Teaching Staff, the Learning Support Team, the Careers Team and Student Services concerning attendance, progress on courses, progression after college and the general well-being of students. They are also involved in the admissions and enrolment processes.
GSTs are responsible for delivering and contributing to the Tutorial Programme. The Group tutorials are designed to help achieve academic success and address personal, social and health issues in an exciting and informative way. The Tutorial Programme covers study skills, careers and Higher Education Information, Advice and Guidance, as well as general personal and social education, including topics such as road safety, cyber-bullying, finance and equality and diversity.
GSTs are responsible for implementing the student support and disciplinary referral systems, agreeing SMART targets and packages of support to ensure the engagement of students in their study programmes.
The successful candidate will need to have excellent analytical skills and attention to detail as the role has a particular focus on analysing data (including attendance data and Key Assessment Point results).
The contract will be between 15 - 22.5 hours per week on a permanent basis, commencing following satisfactory recruitment and safeguarding checks.
The successful candidate will be appointed within scale points 11 – 14 of the Support Staff Salary Structure, currently £28,634 - £31,324 for full time (actual salary will be pro-rata to the hours and weeks worked).
