About The Company
Beaumont College Sussex is a very special place. We provide highly personalised pathways for special school leavers, and we support them in the journey to become adults, and to live independent and fulfilling lives as far as possible. This provision is based on the large, rural site of Ingfield Manor and the outdoors can play a fundamental role in underpinning learning, and wellbeing.
Our Learning Support Workers (LSWs) come from a wide-range backgrounds and are passionate and they are ambitious for our students to succeed. The role of an LSW is to support with the delivery of Pathway Skills and learning against student expected outcomes to a high standard across the curriculum. 
The role of an LSW can include supporting College Support Workers (CSW’s) to promote student self-advocacy and for CSW’s to demonstrate patience and avoid ‘over supporting’ during learning. On occasion an LSW will be asked to deliver learning under the direction of supervision of an FE Teacher or Pathway Coordinator.  
LSW’s enable aspects of personalization through reasonable adjustments to support, learning and assessment. They will facilitate recording and monitoring progress, ensure that evidence to reflect that learning is taking place is collected, captured, recorded and reported.  
LSW’s will lead the focus on measure increased confidence, resilience, self-belief and self-advocacy in relation to reliance on support in learning.  
We follow the Preparing for Adulthood Agenda, and our students follow highly personalised pathways, which combine intended outcomes to study, linked to longer term goals for busy and fulfilling lives as adults and graduates of the college.  
Our curriculum includes embedded, and in some cases explicit English, maths and IT as appropriate, PHSE, British Values and a wide range of vocational sessions. Tutors and Teachers will appreciate the importance of communication, and be prepared to develop their skills to support an environment of Total Communication.  
Our courses provide opportunities for a wide range of special school leavers, from those with profound multiple and complex health and learning difficulties, through to individuals who would like to work in paid or voluntary roles.  
Beaumont College staff are an extended family, and maintain a person-centred approach in all that we do.
