LINK19 College is a Specialist Post-19 Institution for 19 to 25 year old learners which offers full-time study programmes that provide individualised learning experiences. These programmes develop key employability and life-skills for learners with a range of significant learning needs, including communication and interaction (C&I). Learners may have associated conditions, such as Autistic Spectrum Condition (ASC), epilepsy or other health needs. Learners are likely to require a flexible level of support to meet their assessed needs.

The successful candidate will have a passion for working with young adults with Special Educational Needs and possess excellent interpersonal skills.  Candidates must be able to use their own initiative and be committed to working as part of an established highly motivated team to continue to raise the Quality of Education throughout the college.

The post will be mainly based in the Gravesham area with a base at the Link Centre within North Kent College, Gravesend Campus.  The successful candidate will be employed by Ifield school but seconded to LINK19 College to carry out their role.

Please refer to the attached job description for main duties and responsibilities.
