Whether in a teaching & learning role or in one of our specialised Business Support functions, you'll be involved in nurturing and developing the future workforce.

We're already a successful college, but we're continually striving to be better and do better - be part of our story

Are looking for a fulfilling and rewarding role where you can support young people to preparing for and take the first step in their career journey? If so then this role may be perfect for you.

As a Work Experience Coach, you will deliver an engaging and relevant Work Experience programme to develop employability skills and raise career aspirations.

You will build employer networks to provide quality work placements and work with partner organisations to open up progression opportunities for students.

These roles are based at across our Brunel and Waterfront centres, with travel to other centres as required from time to time.

Due to this and travel to complete employers' visits being a key aspect of the role a driving license and access to a car is beneficial.

Your key responsibilities will be to deliver the Work Experience tutorial framework, secure and plan quality work placements to meet the needs of the qualifications, and drive the work preparation Passport Award programme, to meet the needs of your students' study programmes.

Ideally, you'll have knowledge of engaging employers, working with young people, and developing employability skills; holding an IAG or teaching qualification would be an advantage (or being willing to work towards them).

Proven experience in training/workshop delivery and the development of individual learning plans would be beneficial, but the ability to coach and mentor young people and a track record in driving performance to achieve KPI targets is key to success in this role.

You will be confident at engaging employers and developing partnership working, and have the ability to communicate effectively and build effective working relationships.

Excellent administration and IT skills are essential in the role, as is the desire to provide first class customer service in line with our College values of Kindness, Unity and Excellence.

Due to the nature of our work, it's essential you're committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults.

We believe learning is not just for our students: it's an important part of working here too. Staff development opportunities include a mentoring scheme, financial contributions for external qualifications and skills development for current and aspiring managers. You'll also have access to a range of staff benefits including an employee assistance programme, retail and leisure discounts and reduced Metro travel.

We want people who believe in the value of education, and who can contribute to our culture of supporting and challenging one another.
