Summary
All about the role:
Fairfield College is seeking to recruit a dynamic Job Coach to work with our learners with learning difficulties and disabilities. This will enable our learners to pursue their ambitions in relation to gaining sustainable employment and find out more about the world of work. The role will include building exceptional working relationships with all areas of the college, students, parents and local employers, to develop work-based learning opportunities, experiences and placements.
The ideal candidate will be of a confident outgoing nature, be good at communication and be able to source and negotiate work placements for young people with learning difficulties and disabilities. The role is heavily linked to employer engagement and developing new work placement opportunities. Whilst Fairfield College is based near Westbury in Wiltshire, this role will require regular travel to support learners in work placements in their local area and communities, both across Wiltshire and neighbouring counties. So being able to drive and having access to a vehicle is essential.
The ideal candidate will need to be able to work independently and as part of a wider team. You will need to be able to manage their workload and have excellent ICT skills.
The ideal candidate for this role will understand how young people learn and be able to use their skills systematically to support and scaffold all aspects of differing job roles. Experience of working in a support role with students with learning disabilities is also essential.
