The Role

Blackpool and The Fylde College (B&FC) is seeking a dedicated and compassionate Learning Support Assistant to join the Student Support and Wellbeing (SSWI) department. This is an exciting opportunity to make a meaningful impact by supporting students with SEND/LDD needs, empowering them to achieve independence, make progress, and prepare for the next steps in their academic and personal lives.

In this role, you will be instrumental in providing targeted support for students with diverse needs, enabling their academic, social, and personal development.

Key responsibilities include:

• Work closely with curriculum and support staff to create a positive, inclusive learning environment and promote essential behaviours for learning and personal growth.
• Set specific, measurable goals with each student, tracking their progress and adjusting support as needed to foster continuous improvement.
• Facilitate student engagement across various settings (e.g., classrooms, workshops, and labs), supporting reasonable adjustments and encouraging autonomy.
• Help students strengthen core skills in areas like literacy, numeracy, ICT, and employability, as well as build social and resilience skills critical to both academic and personal success.
• Act as a key point of support, referring students to appropriate internal and external resources when additional assistance is needed.

Becoming part of B&FC means joining a collaborative, supportive community committed to creating positive student outcomes. This role provides a fulfilling opportunity to support students' growth while also building your own professional skills. B&FC is dedicated to employee development, offering ongoing training and support.
