Position Overview: The Alexandra Centre of Further Education in Camden is seeking a compassionate and dedicated Personal Care College Assistant to provide support to disabled college students with profound and multiple learning difficulties, physical disabilities, and special educational needs.
The role and opportunity:
6.5 hours per day, 8:30-3:30 each day (or chance of 9- 4 if needed)
Needs are profound and multiple learning difficulties, SLD, and severe autism.
The students study life skills more than academic courses, like creating items & selling them to the local community, gardening, home maintenance, shopping, and basic maths/english in real life scenarios.
They can train staff up and you don't need to have experience (although it is extremely helpful if you do). Need to be willing to support young people with complex needs. The college is incredibly supportive, and you would be working alongside several trained, experienced fellow learning support assistants.
The college also provides regular training, such as team teach, makaton, PECS, etc, so this is great for developing future skills and valuable knowledge.
This is a full-time position, working five days a week, but flexibility is available.
