Responsibilities
• ALN Specialism: Serve as one of two - go-to specialists for all matters relating to ALN legislation, statutory guidance, compliance requirements, and best practice in this field. • Strategic Evolution: Collaborate closely with the ALN Manager and ALN Specialist to drive and execute strategic initiatives that evolve our support offering, moving beyond day-to-day compliance to create and execute a market-leading accessibility strategy. • ILP Ownership: Develop and own the implementation of individual learning plans (ILPs) for each learner with ALN, ensuring tailored support and guidance that is evidence-backed and in line with industry standards. (This will be split between you and another ALN Specialist) • Data & Gap Analysis: Regularly review achievement, attendance, and engagement data for learners across diverse demographics (e.g., age, gender identity, ethnic and socio-economic background, care-leaver status, etc.) to identify and monitor outcome disparities. • Intervention Planning: Design and execute specific intervention plans and support activities for learner groups identified as having lower achievement or engagement rates compared to their peers. • Coach & Instructor Training: Plan and deliver practical training and guidance for coaches and instructors on how to recognise and remove barriers to learning for specific groups, ensuring a holistic approach to support. • High-Quality Support Delivery: Deliver timely, appropriate, tailored, and high-quality support to apprentices with ALN in line with policies and internal SLAs, helping them to overcome barriers and achieve program success. • Cross-Functional Partnering: Partner cross-functionally with teams designing learner-facing processes or materials to ensure both Additional Learning Needs and wider inclusion factors are considered at the source. • Inclusivity Guardian: Act as a guardian of inclusivity, ensuring our workflows are built to enable every apprentice to succeed, rather than retrofitting support later. • Documentation & Compliance: Own and maintain accurate records and documentation of support provided, ensuring that evidence needed for funding are meticulously tracked and readily available. • Ofsted Alignment: Ensure all inclusion activities, data tracking, and intervention evidence are maintained to the standards required by current regulatory guidance and frameworks, specifically regarding the achievement of under-represented or disadvantaged groups.
