Salary: SGSAT Pay Scale up to £21,258 FTE

Contract Term: Permanent: Full-time, term-time only (40 weeks). We would consider part-time for the right candidate.

This is a role which involves working very closely with GCSE and A Level students aged 14-19, individually and in groups, to enable them to take the fullest advantage of all that takes place at the UTC. You will take a proactive role in ensuring that students have full access to the curriculum and their examinations, working closely with teachers and other supporting professionals to identify and meet student needs. You will be somebody who is able to build positive relationships with young people while maintaining firm boundaries so that alongside their academic development, they are well-prepared for life beyond the UTC.  You will help our students to work well as part of a team, with mutual respect; to understand their own rights and work for the rights of others, and to build the skills necessary for independent study.

The role of LSA can be challenging but incredibly rewarding so this position will suit somebody with a cheerful outlook, personal resilience and excellent communication skills. You would be part of a small but experienced and supportive SEND team. We welcome applications from candidates with any level of experience.

We provide specialist, high quality technical and academic education for 14-19 students with a strong interest in Engineering and Digital Technologies including Cyber Security. Although we are a specialist centre, English and Maths are very much the foundations on which all else rests. Developing learners who are confident, fluent and creative is a priority for us.
