Are you inspired by the idea of working and tutoring young people?

If you answered yes to these questions then United Response wants to hear from you! We are looking for friendly, patient people to join our education team in Teignbridge.

ROC College is one of the brilliant ways we aim to provide the support that the people we work with actually need, not what we think they need. It’s all about helping young people and adults to learn and develop the key life skills they need in order to live as independently as possible.

We are looking for an active, enthusiastic person who is keen to promote the benefits and opportunities that come from interacting with the community as much as possible. To be considered for the role of Student Support you don’t need previous teaching experience but we do ask for previous experience of working with learning disabilities and ideally behaviours that challenge. If you can combine these things with initiative, patience and good life skills then you will make a great Student Support.
