The role of the Job Coach will be to ensure that each young person on placement has access to high quality job coaching support, thus enabling them to learn the required skills and secure paid employment at the end of the programme.

We are looking for a job coach with experience of working with young people with learning disabilities in an educational setting, good communication and record keeping skills, a creative and flexible approach and an energy and enthusiasm for developing opportunities for young people with learning disabilities at work.
