Employment Support
SEN Job Coach Permanent NEW
ould you like to join a charity supporting 16 – 25-year-olds gain skills to help them in the workplace? You will be working for a national charity who delivery supported internships for young people with autism or a learning disability. The programme provides classroom-based learning (so employability and functional skills) combined with a work experience placement – and supports the young person throughout the process.
You will have a varied role. Typically, you will work the equivalent of one day a week admin, one day a week classroom-based working as a teaching assistant and then 3 days as a job coach. This involves visiting young people in the workplace and working with them to help them understand the role, as well as liaising with the employer for feedback and discussing any workplace adjustments. You will also support young people in the practicalities of getting to and from work. Learners and employers are typically in the Worcester area. Driving is essential for this role.
You must have experience of working with young people, ideally SEND with autism / learning disability experience. This role would suit a teaching assistant looking for a change. Or a youth worker or maybe employment advisor or job coach.
