Foundation Learning is a provision in place to enable students experiencing barriers to learning to progress onto a higher-level programme, where this might not previously have been possible.
For our mentors this can be challenging, but also extremely rewarding. We are looking for a person with the desire to work with disadvantaged young people and the emotional resilience to support them unconditionally. We work with class sizes of no more than 16, often much smaller groups to ensure that every student is getting the support they need.
