About the role
We have an exciting opportunity available for an enthusiastic Teaching Assistant & Cover Tutor to join our dedicated FE team, and play a key part in the provision of a professional, high quality, effective and efficient learning support to students undertaking our Fashion Design and Fashion Retail qualifications, from Level 2 to Level 4.
The role will significantly contribute to the day-to-day support for students in their learning. The primary focus of the role is to provide classroom support to the Group Lead Lecturers and course teams to enable an exceptional course experience for our learners, as well as ensuring they achieve outstanding outcomes, educationally and personally.
A key component of the role will also be the facilitation and delivery of cover sessions for Group Lead Lecturers as and when needed. When not providing this, the post holder will be deployed as support within classes.
About you
The ability to communicate effectively with young people and adult learners is essential, as is working knowledge of the fashion business and experience of facilitating learning.

Team working, as well as an ability and drive to support the learning and development of students, regardless of their starting points, are important aspects of the role.
The post holder is also required to be flexible in their approach to duties depending upon patterns of need in teaching, as the role will be varied and change daily to reflect curriculum need.
Previous experience of working in a similar role, as well as experience and/or in depth knowledge of working within fashion business retail and/or fashion design is desirable.
Please note, this role will be based at the Fashion Retail Academy in London, Tottenham Court Road.
