PROJECT PROFILE

CANTO was established in 1992 to provide training and personal development for individuals with Learning Difficulties and/or Behavioural Issues. Over this period of time we have become recognised as a specialist provider, particularly with young people with medium to severe learning difficulties. Our mission statement is: To work effectively and co-operatively with individuals who live with challenges arising from learning, behavioural, emotional and social difficulties, to progress their personal development, abilities, skills and qualifications. Staff are required to be in tune with our mission statement and keep it in focus at all times when undertaking their role. Sessions are undertaken in functional skills, practical projects, drama, art, music, cooking, animal care, gardening, ICT and other activities aimed at building independence, developing social and personal skills. Students also undertake work placements both in our college and in external companies. Staff also plan activity days and community placements to further enhance their learning experience and helping them to reach their potential.

This role is predominantly to undertake groundwork, interior work of decorating and general maintenance throughout the premises. Other duties may be requested by the Senior Leadership Team to further enhance the premises and grounds for those attending the college, as required.
