About Us
At Access Education Group, we are dedicated to empowering learners and providing outstanding educational support. We pride ourselves on fostering a supportive and inclusive environment where every learner can thrive. As part of our ongoing commitment to excellence, we are looking for a passionate, organised, and welcoming Learner Services Advisor to join our dynamic team in Bristol.
The Role
As a Learner Services Advisor, you will be the heart of our Bristol campus. A typical day will focus on running our vibrant college reception acting as the primary point of contact for learners, staff, visitors, and senior leadership.
In addition to front-of-house operations, you will provide vital support to learners throughout their educational journey, with a particular focus on high-needs funded learners and those with Education, Health, and Care Plans (EHCPs). On occasion, you may also provide Learning Support Assistant (LSA) cover as needed.
Key Responsibilities
Reception & Front-of-House Operations
- Welcome & Hospitality: Meet and greet visitors, National Centre Management, Board members, and the CEO. Oversee visitor, staff, and student sign-in sheets.
- Access & Security: Open and close reception daily. Issue lanyards, staff IDs, visitor badges, temporary student IDs, and bike/car park passes.
- Communication & Admin: Handle telephone and in-person queries, manage internal admin systems, handle incoming deliveries, and organize outgoing post/stamps.
- Ad-hoc Services: Process petty cash transactions, order taxis for staff and students, and safely shred sensitive documentation in compliance with data protection.
