Making it Happen – Your role

The rewarding role of the Job Coach is to support young people in realising their aspirations to participate in work related activities, and facilitate individuals’ progression into paid work, through volunteering, education and training, work experience and other routes.

The Job Coach will work flexibly across all key stages, and work with individuals on 1:1 basis or very small groups under the direction of the Employability Tutor.

The ideal candidate will be a self-starter with confidence and initiative who is comfortable working on a one-to-one basis and sometimes without direct supervision.

Working with challenging young people and helping them develop will be key so you will need excellent interpersonal and communication skills.

You will follow a bespoke timetable and will build positive relationships with the young person to promote interaction and a constructive learning environment.

The successful applicant will join a dynamic, enthusiastic team, totally committed to supporting some of the most vulnerable young people in Cornwall.

Full driving licence, own car and willingness to travel across Cornwall is essential.
