Care and Education Support Worker (Hereford)
Are you looking for a rewarding, term-time only role supporting young people with disabilities to make the most of their time at college?
Award-winning National Star College in Hereford is looking for care and education support workers to help us support our students with varied and complex disabilities to learn, develop and flourish whilst maintaining their health and wellbeing, so they can reach their full potential whilst at college.
The young adults aged 16-25 years that learn with us as day students have big personalities and even bigger ambitions to make the most of their education so that they can live as independently as possible.
Our committed staff team put students first in everything that they do, being proactive, dynamic and collaborative for the benefit of the learners, whatever their ability.
As a care and education support worker you will provide personal care and supporting their therapeutic, social and educational activities. This may involve supporting students in the classroom, on trips into Hereford or in life skills sessions in our large, airy kitchen and outdoor learning space.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
- Enthusiasm, professionalism and a strong work ethic is essential, as well as being able to demonstrate a positive attitude towards the aspirations of young people with disabilities.
- You will be a self-starter who can use your own initiative, be able to manage change and show resilience when things don’t go to plan.
Experience of working with people with learning and/or physical disabilities and a Level 2 qualification in care or learning support is desirable. However, many of our successful team members joined National Star from careers in hospitality or retail so applications are encouraged from people with no previous experience who can demonstrate future potential.
