The role of Learning Coach is a rewarding one, as you will support and mentor learners with social, emotional, and mental health needs, a disability, learning difficulty or medical condition, and/or with ESOL, English and Maths support needs, to enable them to successfully complete their qualifications, course and where appropriate, education, health and care plan (EHCP) outcomes.
These are fantastic opportunities for anyone looking to begin a career in education, especially for those who are recent graduates and looking to become a Teacher.
Experience is not essential but it would be beneficial if you have worked with young people or adults who have social, emotional and mental health needs. What we do ask is that you can demonstrate the ability to use initiative, organise and prioritise, and can communicate well at all levels. We would like you to have good administration and computer skills, to allow you to keep high quality written records of learner progress and set appropriate smart targets based on EHCP outcomes, agreed support plans and coursework.
