VH Achievement Mentor Foundation Learning Hourly Rate: £15.96 per hour Contract Type: Variable Hours Reference: REC2456 | Closing Date: Sunday 30th August 2026 Variable Hours This role is offered on a Variable Hours contract for services, giving you the flexibility to choose whether to accept work offered to you. We’ll provide an approximate number of hours you may be asked to work, however there is no obligation for work to be offered, and there’s no obligation for you to accept the work offered. The Opportunity Are you looking for a role where you can genuinely see the difference you make? Foundation Learning is looking for an Achievement Mentor to join our experienced, close-knit and successful team. This is a varied and genuinely unique role, working partly from our Fleets building and partly from our brand-new converted mobile classroom, taking education directly into local communities. Our learners haven't always had the easiest relationship with education. Some have experienced barriers that have made traditional classrooms difficult, while others simply haven't yet found a way of learning that works for them. No two days will look exactly the same. At Fleets, you'll deliver small-group Maths and English intervention sessions, helping learners revisit concepts they may not have understood or mastered at school. We're not looking for someone to simply repeat the same lesson in the same way. You'll find different ways in, build confidence and make learning accessible, relevant and enjoyable. One day you might be helping a learner finally understand fractions. Another, you could be supporting someone who has spent years believing they're "no good at English" to recognise just how much they are capable of. You'll also work aboard our new mobile classroom, alongside other members of the Foundation Learning team. You'll travel into local communities to reach young people who may currently feel disconnected from education or unsure whether college is for them. This isn't about recreating a traditional classroom on a bus. It's about doing education differently. About You We are looking for someone who is passionate about supporting young people and believes that education can change lives. You will be approachable, empathetic and resilient, with the ability to build positive relationships with learners who may have previously disengaged from education. You will understand the importance of creating safe, supportive and motivating learning environments where young people can thrive. Qualifications and experience matter, but the person matters too. We're looking for someone who can build relationships with young people while maintaining clear and consistent boundaries. Someone who is patient enough to try something another way when a learner doesn't understand, creative enough to make Maths and English feel relevant, and resilient enough to understand that progress isn't always immediate or straightforward. You'll need to be comfortable working both in a college environment and out in the community, and willing to become part of a team that genuinely works together. Because the role may include driving our mobile classroom, a full UK driving licence is essential. You'll be joining a close, experienced and successful team with a strong track record of supporting young people who haven't always thrived within traditional education. We celebrate progress in all its forms. A qualification matters – but so does the learner who attends when they previously wouldn't, attempts something they were convinced they couldn't do, begins trusting adults again or starts believing that college might actually be somewhere they belong. Those moments happen here regularly. The role can be challenging. You'll work with young people who may have experienced significant barriers to education, and there will be days when you need patience, humour, creativity and persistence. But there are few jobs where you get to see so clearly why your work matters. If you're looking for a predictable role where every day looks the same, this probably isn't it. If you want variety, creativity, a supportive team and the opportunity to make a genuine difference to young people's lives, we'd really like to hear from you. Come and help us show young people that education can feel different this time

Safeguarding Officer Safeguarding Salary: £25,065 to £27,330 per annum (£29,834 to £32,529 full year equivalent) Contract Type: Permanent - Term Time 37 hours per week Reference: REC2481 | Closing date: Monday, 31st August 2026 Term Time Contracts This contract offers full-time hours across 37 weeks of the year, during term time. The Opportunity Are you passionate about safeguarding and committed to supporting learners to achieve their full potential? Do you have experience of undertaking direct work with young people and adults through early intervention, prevention and targeted support? Barnsley College is seeking a dedicated, proactive and compassionate Safeguarding Officer to join our experienced Safeguarding Team. This is an exciting opportunity to play a pivotal role in promoting the welfare, safety and wellbeing of our learners, with a strong focus on early help, prevention and direct learner support. As a Safeguarding Officer, you will be at the heart of our safeguarding provision, acting as the first point of contact for safeguarding concerns and ensuring timely, effective support is provided to learners who may be vulnerable or at risk. A key aspect of this role is working directly with learners to identify needs at the earliest opportunity, helping to prevent issues from escalating and empowering learners to overcome barriers to their education, wellbeing and personal development. You will build positive, trusting relationships with learners, providing practical support, safety planning, mentoring and intervention work, while working closely with curriculum staff, parents/carers and a wide range of external agencies. Through effective early help approaches, you will ensure learners receive the right support, at the right time, reducing risk and improving outcomes. No two days are the same. One day you may be undertaking direct intervention work with a learner, attending a multi-agency safeguarding meeting or making referrals to Children's or Adult Social Care; the next you could be completing risk assessments, supporting learner transitions, delivering preventative safeguarding initiatives, or contributing to staff training and awareness activities across College. This is a highly rewarding role for an experienced safeguarding professional who is passionate about early intervention, prevention and learner-centred practice. We are looking for someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment, is confident in undertaking direct work with young people and adults and is motivated by making a lasting positive impact on learners' lives and future outcomes. About You You genuinely care about the wellbeing of young people and adults and are committed to helping create an environment where learners feel safe, supported and able to achieve their full potential. You have a professional, approachable manner and the ability to build positive relationships with a wide range of people, earning trust while maintaining appropriate boundaries. You are calm under pressure, resilient when dealing with challenging situations and confident making well-informed decisions in complex circumstances. With excellent communication and interpersonal skills, you can adapt your approach to support learners, collaborate with colleagues and work effectively with external partners and stakeholders. Highly organised and able to manage competing priorities, you take a proactive approach to your work and understand the importance of maintaining accurate records, handling sensitive information appropriately and exercising sound judgement. Above all, you share our commitment to safeguarding, inclusion and delivering the highest standards of support to our learners. Below is a list of some of the key skills, qualifications and experience we are seeking for this exciting opportunity
