This is a varied and rewarding role. Typically, you'll spend two or three days a week in the classroom, supporting tutors during lesson delivery, and then two or three days out and about as a Job Coach (the balance between classroom and in work support could change) . That means visiting young people at their work placements, helping them understand their roles, liaising with employers for feedback, and supporting with any reasonable adjustments needed in the workplace. Youll also help with the practical side of getting to and from work.
Access to your own vehicle is essential due to the outreach nature of the role.
