Is anyone a Learning Support Assistant with Learn Direct?

I had an email shortly before 5pm from my Work Programme advisor asking me if in interested in a work trial (4 weeks) with the possibility of becoming a Learning Support Assistant with Learn Direct at a local college.

My advisor's a nice person but doesn't appear to have the ability to listen to anything I say so I am wondering if there is any chance that the post will be full-time. I told her that I need full-time or close to full-time in order to support myself but she keeps sending me details of part-time jobs.

So if anyone knows this and also exactly what a Learning Support Assistant does (she's basically not told me anything) I can decide if I want to go ahead with it (I'm under no pressure - she just said to let her know as soon as possible one way or the other).

Thanks.

I thought you still get benefits but work for nought. If so what does full-time have to do with it?

Sorry - should have explained it better. There is the "chance" of a permanent job at the end of it. I was just trying to find out a bit more before I decide.

Email her back and ask 'Is this potential role full time, and what does it involve?'
