The work you do as an @College Academic Coach will grow and engage the learners and ensure they are ready to transition onto a full‑time college course.

As an @College Academic Coach, you will have experience of working with young people with special educational needs and disabilities. You will hold a Coaching or Mentoring qualification or be committed to working towards this. You will be innovative and think differently.

We actively encourage applications from those seeking part‑time roles, job shares, or other flexible working arrangements. Whether you're balancing caring responsibilities, pursuing personal goals, or simply seeking a healthier rhythm between life and work, we're here to support you. Our roles are designed with adaptability in mind and at the heart of our people strategy is a commitment to an inclusive environment where different ways of working are not only accommodated but celebrated. If flexibility matters to you, you'll find a welcoming home here at CCG.
