Form of work
SalaryWe are looking for a part-time Learning Support Coordinator to join our Disability and Dyslexia Team.
As part of a wider Student Wellbeing Team, you will work creatively with students and staff to determine what reasonable adjustments are required to minimise barriers to learning for disabled students. You will offer students 121 appointments, either face-to-face or via MS Teams, to gather information that supplements their formal disability evidence. You will then use this to create a personalised Learning Support Plan. You will also support students applying for funded support, such as Disabled Students Allowances, and provide general disability advice to both students and staff. This may include contributing to disability training events.
You will bring to the team a knowledge of Further/Higher Education, a broad base of disability knowledge/good practice and a passion for enhancing the student experience. We are particularly looking for candidates with a strong knowledge and/or background in Autism who would be willing to lead on projects in this area.
Approximately 27% students at the University of Brighton have told us about a disability, and we have over 3500 students with active Learning Support Plans. This includes those with specific learning differences, physical and sensory impairments, mental health and autistic spectrum conditions, as well as other disabilities and long-term medical conditions.
Disabled students represent a large proportion of our university community and this is growing year on year. We are aiming to ‘level the playing field’ for our disabled student to enable them to reach their potential. We are a friendly welcoming team and there are lots of opportunities for staff development.
These are permanent positions for 0.6FTE, 22.5 hours or 3 days per week. However, we are also open to these hours being worked flexibly across 4/5 days.
There is also the opportunity for hybrid online working between the campus and home.
We expect interview to take place on 23rd or 24th April in person at the Moulsecoomb campus.
