Join National Star in Worcester as a Term-Time Lead Care and Education Support Worker
Helping young people 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.
About the Role
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 Lead Care and Education Support Worker you will use previous experience of supervising / mentoring more junior staff to guide and mentor our Care and Education Support team as well as taking an active part in providing both personal care and learning support during therapeutic, social and educational activities.
