Learning Coaches are responsible for curriculum delivery through both subject specific lessons and multidisciplinary enterprise themed core projects. They prepare students for qualifications and observe students' performance and development in order to support personal coaches to assess individual student's needs and monitor progress. An ability to contribute to both the core curriculum and one or more of the wider school specialisms including Business, IT Digital Media and Performing Arts / Live Events would be advantageous.

The successful candidate will be provided with the training and support to embrace project-based learning and a team approach to delivery within our brand new school.
