Job description

The Role of ReconnectEd Coach

Warwickshire Virtual School, Nicholas Chamberlaine School and ReconnectEd are looking for committed and passionate Coaches to support young people facing adversity through an innovative and pioneering coaching framework. You will be working directly with the young people on a day to day basis, in partnership with their school, a tutoring organisation and parents/carers to strengthen their wellbeing and self-regulation.

The aim is to help to interrupt the potential negative consequences of trauma and deprivation, in turn acting as a bridge by reconnecting young people facing adversity to positively engage with school, home and their communities. By doing so, you will also be creating a positive ripple effect on the peers, school community and family/carers of the young people you are supporting.

You will be supporting the young people to gain at least one qualification, preferably three level 2 qualifications, including Maths and English GCSE, in partnership with a tutoring organisation. You will also be supporting young people to gain a Project Qualification, which will help prepare the young people for their next steps in their education or into the world of work.

You will be provided with ongoing training, supervision support, in partnership with the host school and Warwickshire Virtual School, to ensure that you are fully supported in your role.

• Work in partnership with parents/carers
