An opportunity has become available to join Ruskin Mill College, Ruskin Mill Trust, as part of the committed day time support team focusing on the holistic needs of the students.
This role is challenging and rewarding. We are looking for people with great character and a desire to make a positive impact on young people’s lives, and to provide students with support and guidance to help them engage in timetabled sessions in a safe and appropriate way.
The students benefit from an extensive range of nutritional, therapeutic and medical support at each college that is reflected in the college sessions. This is a great opportunity for anyone wanting a career across care and education.
To be successful in this role you will:
- Have a strong desire to support young people,
- Have excellent observational skills, and the ability to problem solve and think creatively to enable our young people to reimagine their potential
- Be patient, caring, compassionate with a young person-centred nature
- Demonstrate the ability to manage emotionally challenging situations with emotional intelligence and resilience, and to have the capacity to react calmly in stressful situations
- Be a team player with experience of support work in both educational and residential setting
- NVQ 3 in Health and Social Care would be desirable, but not essential, as Ruskin Mill Trust will provide comprehensive training and support.
Ruskin Mill College provides innovative and experiential education and training for young people marginalised by disadvantage, exclusion or special learning needs. Inspired by Rudolf Steiner, William Morris and John Ruskin, the college actively promotes, through craftsmanship and entrepreneurship, the traditional economic activities of the Cotswolds.
Working at Ruskin Mill Trust is incredibly rewarding; we offer competitive salaries and holiday allowances, an auto-enrolment pension scheme with a salary sacrifice option, a health cash plan and employee assistance programme via Medicash.
In addition, staff receive valuable training opportunities including an in-depth interactive induction to enable our new team members to experience our Practical Skills Therapeutic Education (PSTE) curriculum and also opportunities for further training and academic research including our own MSc in Practical Skills Therapeutic Education.
