Personal Development Coach

We are looking for an inspirational and hardworking graduate, who believes in the transformative power of education. You will be a confident communicator who is equally comfortable whether speaking to 16-18 year olds, parents/guardians, or teachers, during 1:1 tutorials, facilitation of personal development classes, and telephone correspondence. 

You will be a self starter looking to develop your skills and knowledge. You will undertake an intensive training programme before you start work to help develop the skills you need to support students effectively. You will be joining a happy and successful team who are dedicated to improving the life chances of the young people that we work with.

This is an opportunity for those looking to gain experience and make a positive difference in an educational setting, or as a new challenge for those already working in education.

As a Personal Development Coach you will support, advise, challenge and monitor both individuals and groups of A level students to ensure they have high attendance and make effective progress towards an aspirational progression plan. You will work closely with parents/guardians and teachers to make sure that students have clear actions that will enable them to progress academically, and work towards positive destinations post-16.
