Hourly Rate: Up to £28

Contract Type: Temporary, Part-time and full-time opportunities available

Location: Reading


Are you passionate about supporting and inspiring young people to thrive in education, work, and life? We are looking for a committed and motivated Progress Coach to join our team in Reading.

About the Role

As a Progress Coach, you'll play a vital part in the personal and academic journey of our students, delivering both whole class personal development sessions and targeted one-to-one or group coaching.

You'll work across a range of curriculum areas, helping students to:

• Build self-confidence, resilience, and emotional intelligence
• Make informed decisions and manage their own learning
• Navigate personal and academic challenges effectively

Key responsibilities include:

• Leading engaging, purposeful personal development tutorials
• Providing individual coaching sessions focused on behaviour, achievement, and progression
• Supporting students through challenges using a positive behaviour framework
• Collaborating with teaching staff and student support teams to maximise learner outcomes
• Maintaining accurate records and safeguarding standards at all times

This is a dynamic and rewarding role, ideal for someone with experience in education, youth work, or pastoral support.

What You'll Need

• Experience working with young people in an educational or youth setting
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills
• Empathy, resilience, and the ability to build trust and rapport
• Confidence in facilitating group discussions on sensitive topics (e.g. inclusion, wellbeing, decision-making)
• Competence in using Microsoft Office and adaptability with IT systems

A background in support roles like Learning Support Assistant, Youth Mentor, or Progress Coach is desirable, though we welcome applications from those with relevant transferable skills and a commitment to student wellbeing.

Why Join Us?

Working with us means being part of an organisation that invests in people and creates a vibrant, inclusive environment where everyone can thrive. You'll benefit from:

• Wellbeing support - resources, health plans, and mental health services
• Professional development - access to continuous learning and CPD
• Flexible working - patterns to suit your lifestyle and work-life balance
• On-site perks - free parking, refectories, and staff facilities
• Employee recognition - including monthly appreciation awards

Make a real difference in the lives of young people while progressing your own career in education and support.
