Overview
About the role: As our Coach you must have a can-do attitude, excellent communications skills, and a nurturing approach to join our team. You will easily engage with young people, support their behaviour, listening skills and encourage a cheerful outlook towards learning. Experience working in a SEND setting, particularly students with ASD and ADHD would be an advantage, as well as experience working in a PRU and an understanding of restorative and therapeutic practices.

Supporting student resilience, social, emotional, mental health and wellbeing is a key part of this role. Flexibility is essential for this role as no two days are the same.
