This course is ideal for you if you have already been working or volunteering in support roles in education settings and are looking for a way to deepen your knowledge and progress your learning. You will explore the role of the support worker in more depth and begin to look critically at this role starting to draw on theory to deepen your understanding.

You will need to find your own placement for around 1 day per week and this can be in the primary, secondary or FE sectors. We also have learners that are in SEN settings or specialist units. We do not mind what year you are in as long as it is classroom based with a qualified teacher. Placements must cover a variety of curriculum subjects, not just English and maths. Private nurseries, before school, after school clubs and midday supervisor roles are not suitable.
