The opportunity

As part of the Disability Service, the Dyslexia Support Tutor will be part of a team responsible for providing specialist 1:1 study skills tuition and SpLD screenings. Approximately two-thirds of the tutor’s time will be spent working directly with students. In addition, the tutor will be responsible for administrative tasks and will spend time on project work and training to support the development of the University’s dyslexia support provision. The balance of contact vs. non-contact time may vary depending on seasonal changes in student demand.

Tutors work closely with each other and the Dyslexia Co-ordinator to whom they report. The challenge will be to develop the roles and build effective working relationships with the staff based in the Colleges where they work. There will be opportunities (working with managers and the rest of the team) to develop processes and   procedures and training to underpin effective delivery of support.

Tutors work at one or two College sites. The current vacancy will be based at London College of Fashion but expected to work flexibly across college sites.
