Start date: 2 November 2026
Are you passionate about supporting learners and keen to help them get the most from their time in education?
About the Role
You'll join a further education provider as a Progress Coach, supporting learners on a one-to-one basis and in small groups as they work through their programmes. You'll work alongside teaching staff to keep learners engaged, confident and on track.
No formal teaching qualifications are required — what matters most is genuine enthusiasm for supporting learners and helping them progress.
Your responsibilities will include:
- Providing one-to-one and group support to mainstream learners and learners with additional learning needs.
- Supporting teaching staff to maintain an inclusive learning environment.
- Monitoring learner progress and putting support in place where learners are at risk of falling behind.
- Safeguarding vulnerable learners.
What We're Looking For
Essential:
- Level 2 qualification or higher in English and maths
- Experience of working with young people or adults with additional learning needs, or an extensive care background
- Up-to-date safeguarding training, or a willingness to obtain it
- Enhanced DBS check, or a willingness to obtain one
Desirable (but not essential):
- Knowledge of additional learning needs
- Previous experience within further education
If you're ready to help learners achieve their goals, we'd love to hear from you.
