Are you passionate about making a real difference in the lives of young people? Do you thrive in a supportive, hands-on role where every day brings new challenges and rewards?
We are looking for a Full-Time Learning Coach to join a dynamic Alternative Provision setting, working with secondary-aged students who require additional support due to social, emotional, and mental health (SEMH) needs.

About the Role:

As a Learning Coach, you’ll work closely with students on a 1:1 or small group basis, providing emotional and behavioural support while helping them to re-engage with learning. You’ll be part of a caring, trauma-informed team that understands the importance of consistency, trust, and patience.

What Makes a Great Learning Coach?

We’re looking for someone who:
• Has a natural ability to build strong relationships with young people
• Is resilient, calm under pressure, and able to manage challenging situations
• Understands the emotional needs behind behaviours
• Brings empathy, humour, and creativity into their approach
• Believes in second chances and the potential of every child

What You'll Be Doing:
• Supporting students to access learning in a way that works for them
• Creating a safe, positive environment where pupils feel heard and understood
• Using de-escalation strategies and emotional coaching techniques
• Working closely with teachers, mentors, and pastoral teams
This is a rewarding, full-time role with a chance to make a lasting impact in the lives of young people who need it most.
If you have experience in youth work, education, care, mental health, or similar fields – or simply the right attitude and passion to learn – we want to hear from you!

Apply now to become a key part of a team that’s changing lives every day.
