IN SHORT

Milton Keynes College are keen to hear from individuals interested in supporting learners in education with a range of different SEND.

Perhaps you are an experienced Teaching Support Assistant looking for a change of setting or location?

As a Teaching Support Assistant in our Inclusive Learning team, you will understand the needs of individuals with Learning difficulties and disabilities. We are particularly looking for experience working with young people with a range of different SEND along with experience of working with parents/carers to support student welfare and achievement.

The Inclusive Learning team are committed to developing our students to achieve their highest potential through their chosen subject, whilst learning invaluable skills to support them in their future. The team challenge our students to be themselves — creative, imaginative, and fantastic individuals. Their shared goal is for each student to leave the College with the tools to progress and to get the best out of their future lives.

MK College will treat all applicants fairly and with respect, irrespective of their background, disability or any other individual characteristic. We particularly encourage applications from people with backgrounds which are currently under-represented within Milton Keynes College. All offers made to successful candidates are subject to satisfactory outcomes to a range of pre-employment checks including a Disclosure and Barring Service check (DBS). In addition, security clearance is required for all prison services positions up to Counter Terrorist Check (CTC) level.
