Who We Are

SupaJam is a music focused post-16 Specialist Provider, supporting vulnerable and disadvantaged 16 - 25 year olds across our four bases in Wandsworth, Swanley, Canterbury and Brighton.

The majority of our students have a variety of social, emotional or special educational needs, or have previously disengaged from mainstream education.

Our ethos is to be forward thinking, caring and encouraging whilst providing a structured, supportive and non-judgmental environment.

Working at SupaJam is unlike any other role in an education setting. To be part of a company that challenges the status quo, goes the extra mile for all our young people whilst being immersed in the music industry is often challenging, but always rewarding.

The Role

Are you passionate, supportive, and looking to make a difference to vulnerable young people's lives? Do you love music, have previous experience as a classroom assistant, or experience working with young people with SEND, and want to be part of a dynamic team that makes real change? If the answer is yes, an exciting opportunity exists to join our classroom support team at SupaJam, one of the country's most exciting education providers. With so many of our young people having previously fallen out of formal education we use their passion for music to reignite their desire to learn and achieve. We teach the RSL Creative Music Industry (business pathway) at levels 1, 2 and 3. To continue the growth and educational excellence of the organisation we are now seeking additional Learning Support Practitioners (LSP) to join our team. Answering to the College Lead, our LSPs are an integral part of our organisation as they provide exceptional support to students and teachers in and outside of the classroom.

SupaJam is committed to diversity and inclusion, and we believe this helps us to be a more relevant and effective organisation.
