About the Role

As a Job Coach you will ensure that learners with High Needs and young people with Education Health and Care Plans (EHC Plans), whom are studying on the Pre & Supported Internship Programmes, are supported whilst out on placement with an employer.

• Tracking of learner skills development

• Capturing of employer/supervisor feedback.

You will ensure that young people with EHC Plans:

• Develop the skills valued by employers

• Demonstrate their value in the workplace

• Develop confidence in their own abilities to perform successfully at work.

You will ensure that all parties involved in placements, employers, curriculum staff and learners, have clear expectations of what is required of them by following the policy and processes in place.

This is a truly rewarding role, where the support you offer can make a real difference to the future success of our learners, enabling them to have the best opportunities to lead independent and fulfilled lives.
