🌟 About the College

Beaumont College provides highly personalised pathways for special school leavers, including those with complex autism, learning difficulties, and social, emotional, or communication challenges.

Our core philosophy is to empower students to build positive behavior strategies, helping them find their voice, be heard, and grow into independent young adults. Working as part of a close-knit, multidisciplinary team, you will make memories, share in the ups and downs, and help our learners prepare for fulfilling adult lives.

💼 About the Role

As a College Support Worker, you will work directly with students in classrooms, across the busy student community, and out in the local area. You will provide the essential care and support they rely on to access their learning and develop key life skills.

Personal Care with Dignity: Help students maintain their personal hygiene and comfort, providing personal care with the utmost dignity and respect.
Life Skills Development: Guide students through daily routines and timetabled activities to foster their independence and personal growth.
Positive Communication: Use positive behavior support strategies to help students communicate their needs and minimize risks.
Care Plan Delivery: Work closely with a small team around each student to ensure their agreed care plans are seamlessly implemented.

🧠 Resilient & Positive: Eager to join a team that embraces the rewarding "ups and downs" of a student's educational journey.
👥 A True Team Player: Ready to collaborate with teachers, therapists, and families to achieve the best outcomes.
