Job Description: Learning Support Facilitator
​Company: Connected Minds Pty Ltd
Location: Cape Town (Field-based / In-person)
Position Type: Part-time / Full-time
​Role Overview
​Connected Minds is seeking dedicated, highly adaptive Learning Support Facilitators to join our team. We support a diverse spectrum of students, spanning both mainstream learners requiring targeted academic support and neurodiverse learners who require specialized engagement profiles.
​This role is designed for educators who can fluidly adapt their approach—balancing robust curriculum delivery with trust-building, connection, and student autonomy. Your primary goal will be to co-create a safe, regulated environment where learning happens naturally through collaboration, deep interest exploration, and mutual respect.
​Key Responsibilities
- ​Curriculum Delivery & Adaptation: Confidently deliver and differentiate mainstream school curricula, translating academic content into engaging, accessible, and meaningful lessons tailored to the individual learner’s pace and style.
- ​Relationship-Centered Facilitation: Establish strong, egalitarian bonds with learners, prioritizing emotional safety, validation, and regulatory support over strict compliance or rigid output.
- ​Family Collaboration & Partnership: Work closely and harmoniously with the families of our learners. Maintain open, supportive communication, ensuring that families are integrated into the support strategy and feel heard and valued.
- ​Tailored Educational Engagement: Facilitate personalized, interest-led learning experiences that integrate core academic requirements with scientific concepts, creative thinking, and real-world exploration.
- ​Sensory & Emotional Regulation: Actively read, interpret, and support the internal states and nervous system reactions of learners, utilizing co-regulation strategies to manage boredom, overwhelm, or sensory fatigue.
- ​Daily Progression Reporting: Maintain clear, concise, and sensitive documentation of daily sessions, capturing behavioral insights, curriculum milestones, and engagement levels in a professional format.
​Required Experience & Qualifications
​We are looking for a unique professional blend of traditional academic grounding and progressive, neuro-affirming perspectives.
- ​Educational Qualifications: Must hold a recognized teaching degree (e.g., B.Ed, PGCE) or be actively pursuing one.
- ​Teaching & Curriculum Delivery Experience: A solid foundational background in education with a proven track record of successfully delivering mainstream school curricula and managing instructional goals.
- ​Neurodiversity & Special Needs Expertise: Demonstrated hands-on experience working with neurodivergent individuals, including but not limited to Autism, ADHD, and specialized demand-avoidant or high-autonomy profiles.
- ​Versatility Across Learning Profiles: Experience supporting both mainstream students navigating traditional academic challenges and neurodiverse students requiring highly individualized accommodations.
- ​Lived or Practiced Neuro-Affirming Values: A proven track record of moving away from behavioral modification models toward relationship-based, trauma-informed, and identity-affirming support.
​Core Competencies
- ​Respectful & Considerate Conduct: Consistently approach both the learner and their family with deep respect, discretion, and consideration, recognizing the unique dynamics and vulnerabilities within each household.
- ​Deep Empathy & Active Listening: The ability to tune into non-verbal cues and decode the underlying needs behind a learner’s behavior.
- ​High Adaptability & Creativity: Comfort with fluid schedules and the ability to pivot an entire session based on the learner’s immediate regulation or interest level without losing sight of academic objectives.
- ​Collaborative Mindset: Ready to work alongside families and the core Connected Minds team to ensure consistency of care and approach.
