• Plan progressive sessions that build on previous learning and contribute towards qualifications.
• Organise enrichment activities, trips and guest speakers that broaden learners’ experiences.
• Actively promote and monitor learner wellbeing, creating a safe, inclusive environment where learners feel supported, valued and able to thrive.
• Support learners’ individual needs by maintaining effective learning plans and liaising with colleagues.
• Use ACT’s systems (e.g., Vision2) to monitor progress and track outcomes.
• Identify and support learners at risk of disengagement, using proactive strategies to keep them on track.
