Join Our Team as a Skills Coach - Make a Real Difference

The Role:

Are you a passionate and driven professional with a talent for supporting young people with additional needs? This is an exciting opportunity to join our dynamic team and play a vital role in delivering and supporting our Supported Internship and Pathways programmes.

As a Skills Coach, you'll work directly with learners to help them achieve their goals and progress into supported employment or further education. If you have experience working with vulnerable or SEN learners in an educational or training setting, and you bring strong support and coaching skills, this could be the perfect role for you.

What you'll do:

Key responsibilities include:

Providing 1:1 and small group support in class and in the workplace.
Using coaching techniques to help learners become confident, independent learners.
Supporting Tutors in designing and delivering Individual Learning Plans (ILPs).
Offering tailored support in literacy, numeracy, and digital skills.
Building positive, professional relationships with learners using a strength-based approach.

This role may require travel across the county, so flexibility is essential.

What we're looking for:

Hampshire Achieves is part of the Participation and Lifelong Learning service within Hampshire County Council's Children's Services Directorate. We are committed to helping every learner thrive and reach their full potential.

We welcome your application and encourage you to demonstrate your suitability for the role, along with the energy, enthusiasm, and commitment you'll bring to our team.

Why join us?

We are immensely proud that our teams are so committed to delivering the high standards that our strong reputation is built on.

There are many reasons why we are an excellent choice for your next career move.

Competitive annual leave entitlement
Employee Support and Wellbeing
A range of flexible working options

A full list of employee benefits can be found here.
