Advert

New and exciting opportunities working with young people (19-25) with learning difficulties or disabilities.

We are seeking to recruit a number of Learning Support Practitioners to join our expanding provision to meet the needs of young adults with learning difficulties or disabilities (LLDD), from September 2020.

 (The selection process will take place in accordance with the Government's current social distancing guidelines).

Information about the school

We have been awarded Outstanding in all areas following our OFSTED inspection in May 2023.

Our aim is to complement and work alongside existing providers in the area to ensure that the needs and aspirations of all young people with learning difficulties and disabilities (LLDD) can be met locally. Our learners travel to College from within Kent and surrounding authorities.

We work closely with a number of employers and other organisations to ensure that the skills, knowledge and understanding gained in college are applied in the “real world” so that every learner makes clear progress and develops into a young person who is respected and valued in their community and is confident and able to contribute fully. On leaving The Oaks our young people will gain employment, further training or meaningful volunteering roles and be able to live their life more independently – with less dependency on others as they continue to develop, mature and thrive.

Our mission is to put young people with learning disabilities at the heart of all that we do. We achieve our success by having a great team of staff who really care about the work that they do with our young people and who have a wide range of skills and expertise plus drive and total commitment to our vision.

Our vision is to give all of our young adults opportunities to discover ways of learning that engage them and enable them to gain new skills and knowledge. We strive to ensure every learner is exceptionally well prepared to live a positive, meaningful and productive long term future.
