About the role
The Fashion Retail Academy is currently in a new phase of growth and we have an opportunity for an enthusiastic Academic Coach and Mentor to join our dedicated Wellbeing team to provide day-to-day student support and signposting through our Coaching Team.
The primary aim of this role is to identify and deliver best practices and effective resources to develop outstanding student experiences and outcomes. You will champion the success of all students by providing tailored academic coaching and supporting the development of a new Coaching Curriculum including mentoring, advice, academic guidance, and referral to other support services.
This role is formed around the sole purpose of ensuring all students (primarily identified students in Further Education), including the most vulnerable, make excellent progress, both academically and with their social and emotional development.
About you
This role requires someone who is an excellent listener with strong coaching and mentoring skills and who is an advanced communicator with strong planning and administrative skills. Therefore, you will be personable, highly compassionate, organised, and genuinely interested in education and wellbeing.
You will also have a demonstrable background in coaching or academic support and a successful track record of working directly with students with evidenced outcomes. You must have inspection readiness preparation experience and outstanding knowledge of current Post-16 education policy and practice, LTA methods and processes, and external agency provision for vulnerable students.
Are you solution focussed with the ability to stay current within both subject areas and Post-16 education?
We’d love to hear from you!
