Job Coach
You can expect to work approximately 12 to 16 hours a week. There may be an opportunity to increase your hours as we expand the programme.
Working closely with individuals who have graduated from a School's Supported Internship Programme, Job Coaches provide 'hands on' workplace support to early career employees (aged 19-25) and their employers. This two-pronged approach ensures that:
Young people ('coachees') quickly acclimatise to their work environment, are supported in learning their new roles, and transition effectively from education into employment.
Line managers and other colleagues learn how to confidently manage, develop and work with young people with SEND in ways that help them to flourish.
Who we are looking for in a Job Coach?
Inclusive, innovative, inspiring, patient and kind, you will have a vision and passion for supporting young adults with SEND, helping them to achieve fantastic outcomes at a key stage in their early careers. To flourish in this highly rewarding and varied role, you will be an adaptable people person and an effective communicator with a desire to bring about fairer, more inclusive and equitable workplaces. You must be able to demonstrate the ability to support young people with SEND to transition into employment and take their first steps towards independence. Previous experience is essential. A sense of humour is a bonus! You don't need a university...
