Job overview
At Loughborough Sixth Form College, we are determined to ensure that all of our students reach their full academic potential and develop the skills and personality to lead successful futures.
Our curriculum provision is predominantly A Level with a small cohort of Applied Science students. We have high ambitions for our students and Academic Coaches are a key part of our support network.
It is an exciting time to join the College and we are looking for an exceptional individual to join our distinctive educational setting. As an Academic Coach, you will be responsible for supporting students academically across one of our pathways. This will be through weekly tutorial sessions, 1:1 coaching sessions, or helping students with their UCAS applications and progression goals. The support will involve tracking students against their Minimum Expected Grade, helping them to reflect on what they need to do to improve and ensuring that appropriate interventions are in place for them to succeed.
We are looking for someone who has experience of working in a student centred environment. Whilst prior experience of delivering workshops, coaching students or UCAS would be desirable, we are keen to hear from applicants who can display transferable skills of pro-activity, initiative and building positive relationships. These skills are crucial to working effectively with teachers, support staff and students.
Alongside our commitment to your professional and personal development, we also offer a generous benefits package including:
· A competitive pension scheme
