Are you a compassionate, enthusiastic individual with a commitment to student well-being? Do you want to make a meaningful impact on students’ lives and contribute to their development and independence? If so, United Colleges Group would be excited to welcome you to our dedicated Learning Support Assistant team, working with Supported Learning students at both the Willesden Green and Maida Vale Campuses.
