Learning Coach - Secondary School - LSA

Yateley School is seeking to appoint a Learning Coach to join our friendly, experienced team. You will place a key role in supporting teaching staff with the education, care, and welfare of students with learning difficulties, helping them to become independent, confident, and well-supported learners.

This is an exciting opportunity to work within our Student Support team, where no two days are the same and every day makes a difference.

Previous experience would be an advantage, as is ELSA/TALA training but not essential — more important is patience, understanding, and flexibility to meet a range of needs.

We are looking for someone who can:

· Show empathy and understanding of students’ needs

· Work collaboratively with parents, teaching staff, and students

· Keep accurate and confidential records of meetings and interactions

· Organise and plan their day around individual student needs

· Support learning and identify when additional interventions are required

· Demonstrate good literacy, numeracy, and IT skills

· Communicate effectively, with professionalism and discretion

· Follow direction but also use initiative where appropriate

· Help students reach their full potential

If you have a passion for supporting young people and want to make a real difference, we would love to hear from you.
