We are seeking to appoint an enthusiastic, proactive, and dedicated person to join our C6 team in the role of C6 Study Supervisor. Based in the purpose built sixth form building, you will work to maintain a calm and purposeful learning environment, supervising and supporting students carrying out private study, especially if teaching staff are absent from lessons. The post holder will be required to liaise with the C6 student support team, subject teaching staff, tutors and parents as required and help create a positive and supportive atmosphere within the C6 building's study spaces.
You will need to be well organised, self-confident, and professional in your outlook. Previous experience working with young people in the 16-19 phase of education is desirable, but not essential, as well as an understanding of academic study skills and approaches to learning. Most importantly you will have great communication skills, and the ability to relate effectively with students of all ages as well as colleagues. This is an interesting and varied role, with teamwork being a vital aspect of the job. If you have a high level of interpersonal and communication skills, are well organised, are flexible and patient in your work, your application would be greatly welcomed.
