Beaumont College supports special school leavers including those with complex autism and social and emotional challenges. 

 
Some of our students have excellent language skills, while others may communicate in different ways. All have learning difficulties. For individuals in this group of students, they may have developed strategies for communication over their lives that aren’t as helpful or easy to understand as they reach adulthood. Working as part of a multidisciplinary team, our ethos and culture is to support our young people to develop strategies focusing on positive behaviours, reducing and ideally removing the need for our young people to deploy unhelpful strategies to communicate their needs, be heard, listened to and understood. 
 
You will work with identified students as part of a small team around the student, enabling and empowering them to prepare for fulfilling busy lives as young adults. Along the way, there will be fun, memories to make and a significant journey of ups and downs. As they graduate our young people demonstrate the progress they have made through their actions. And they have achieved this because they have been empowered by the staff who support them. Are you the next member of our amazing team?

Beaumont College 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.

Each student spends 2-3 years following an intensive multi-disciplinary team study programme that supports them as school leavers into busy, productive and fulfilling lives as adults.

Are you an energetic and creative Speech and Language Therapist who is keen to work in a supportive multi-disciplinary setting? Are you looking to make a difference to the lives of young people with complex needs and/or autism?  Then come and join us in Beaumont College.

Beaumont College is a well-respected specialist college that offers individualised educational programmes for young people aged 16 – 25 with a broad range of learning needs.  The college is based in Lancaster and supports day colleges in Blackpool, Ulverston and Carlisle.  The Communication Department works closely with the other therapists in college, and supports the Education Team, the Positive Behaviour Support Team and the Student Support Team to ensure that students can access the curriculum and develop their communication skills.  The college is a Total Communication Environment and staff are supported to implement a range of approaches including Intensive Interaction, AAC and Makaton.

We welcome applications from therapists who are looking to join an established service and develop their specialism.  There will be opportunities to develop your professional therapy skills and knowledge.  The role is primarily communication based although there may be opportunities to develop your skills in dysphagia within the field of adult learning disabilities.  Dysphagia experience is therefore not essential.  The ideal candidate will have some experience of supporting people with complex physical, learning and sensory needs, and have an interest in autism, social and emotional learning needs, AAC and/or developing early communication skills.

Beaumont College supports special school leavers, including individuals with complex autism, social and emotional challenges, and learning difficulties. Our students communicate in a variety of ways – some with excellent language skills, others through alternative methods.

Our ethos is rooted in a multidisciplinary team approach, supporting young people to develop positive communication strategies that reduce or eliminate unhelpful behaviours. We believe in creating an environment where our students are heard, listened to, and understood.

As a student support worker, you’ll be part of a small, dedicated team around each student, enabling and empowering them as they prepare for fulfilling adult lives. Along this journey, there will be laughter, challenges, memories to cherish—and remarkable progress that our graduates proudly demonstrate.

Are you ready to become the next valued member of our amazing team?

Beaumont College 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.

Student Support Workers work directly with day students, and develop the insight, skills and competencies to support students to thrive as young adults. Students are all special school leavers, with ambitious visions for busy fulfilling lives at and beyond college. Students are considered to have special educational needs and disabilities. Our students follow a pathway relevant to their starting points, and student support workers can develop specialist knowledge behaviours and skills in working with individuals who have complex, multiple and profound disabilities, through to those who aspire to gain paid or voluntary employment. 

As a specialist post-16 college setting, we have a wide range of health professionals including nurses, occupational therapists, speech and language specialists, physiotherapists and eating and drinking specialists, along with an ethos to support and promote positive behaviours. Senior  Student Support Workers work with teachers, tutors and health professionals to extend learning into life outside of the college setting. The goal is resilient graduates, who are confident as young adults and believe in themselves; they show this through reduced reliance on others and through self-advocacy.

Our students enjoy learning and they love our college, so we do have a lot to smile about. We are a close knit team and would welcome new colleagues to be part of this enabling, empowering and equipping world of supporting students to fulfil their potential.

The role of the FE Teacher within the Access to Learning Pathway involves delivering high quality and person-centred sessions on a 1:1 basis or within small group sessions.
