An opportunity has arisen to contribute to a successful and highly ambitious College that is already in the top 5% of Sixth Form Colleges in the country. Wyke is an established, popular Sixth Form College with an outstanding reputation in the locality. The college draws students from Kingston-upon-Hull, East Riding of Yorkshire, and further afield. The largest and one of the most successful A Level providers in the area, we offer applicants the opportunity to work alongside committed colleagues who have enabled our students to achieve high levels of success. At Wyke we put the student first and all decisions centre around staff working together to meet their best interests.
Working as part of the friendly and experienced Additional Learning Support team, we require a highly motivated Learning Support Mentor, skilled at supporting young people with their studies. The role involves working with students on an individual or small group basis.
The successful candidate will be able to support students to maximise progress on Level 3 programs of study, and also those taking GCSE qualifications in English and Maths. Ideally, candidates will have experience of supporting students for whom English is not their first language. Previous experience working with young people is essential, as is being educated to Level 3 (A-level or equivalent).
We offer a forward-thinking, welcoming college with supportive management and a modern environment. Benefits include a strong programme of staff development and membership of the Local Government Pension Scheme. We are lucky to work with great students who are here to learn and 93% of staff said they would recommend the College as a good place to work in the summer 2024 Staff Pulse Survey. We welcome applications from a diverse range of applicants and would love our staff ethnicity and cultural profile to closely match the student population we serve.
The College takes safeguarding extremely seriously and a full range of pre-employment checks including a satisfactory enhanced DBS with barred list check will be required for this post.

Interviews will be held on Wednesday 13th November 2024.
