Exciting opportunity coming soon… NWSLC Engagement & Progression Team

If you’ve worked with young people in education, youth work, mentoring, employability or alternative provision, you’ll know the difference a steady, trusted adult can make. If you bring calm, consistency and genuine care, can build strong relationships while holding clear expectations, and want to make a real difference, we may have the role for you at NWSLC!

Get involved now to shape and develop this new opportunity support young people!

North Warwickshire and South Leicestershire College (NWSLC) is expanding our Engagement and Progression provision for 16-18 year olds, supporting young people to take positive next steps into education, training and employment. We are building a new two stage programme (step into your future and pathway to progression) built around high support and high challenge.

This provision will be delivered in Wigston initially and will then expand to Nuneaton and Hinckley. It is designed to be intensively staffed, with embedded, in-class support and dedicated mentors who can build the consistent relationships young people need to thrive. Our work is underpinned by a trauma-informed approach that prioritises safety, trust, consistency, and positive relationships.

We are now recruiting for a range of roles to support the launch of our Engagement & Progression provision at Wigston Campus. Opportunities will include leadership and programme delivery, referrals/enrolment and data coordination, and frontline learner support roles focused on mentoring, behaviour support and sustaining engagement.

Who we’re looking for:

You’ll be passionate about helping young people move forward, with a calm, consistent presence to build trust, and the professional skills to remove barriers. Experience may come from education, alternative provision, youth work, employability, mentoring, or learner support. What matters most is your ability to help young people build routines, strengthen confidence, engage positively, and progress, using a trauma-informed approach that is consistent, relational and professional.

What you’ll get:

The opportunity to be part of a purposeful, growing provision with genuine community impact
A supportive team culture, strong safeguarding practice, and a clear programme structure
Cross-college working with vocational teams, student services, partners, and employers
The chance to help build a sustainable progression pipeline for young people who need a fresh start and the right support
