We have an exciting opportunity for a dynamic and committed Academic Coach to join our Sixth Form team on a 1 year fixed term contract basis (approximate length). The College is experiencing growth, and we are looking for an exceptional individual to join our distinctive educational setting and our growing academic coach team. At Loughborough College, we are determined to ensure that all our students reach their full academic potential and develop the skills and habits needed for a successful future. Our curriculum provision is predominantly A Level. We have high ambitions for our students and Academic Coaches are a vital part of our student support network.

The academic coach role is a pivotal role supporting students in their learning journey at Loughborough College. The role includes:

• Delivery of small group, and 1:1 coaching sessions in our dedicated student attainment (STAR) room. You will work with the STAR lead, academic coaches and teaching staff to identify students that will benefit from coaching, plan effective coaching sessions on a wide range of academic and study skills topics, and monitor student progress.
• Delivery of group tutorial sessions (known as Personal, Academic and Professional Development) and 1:1 pastoral guidance meetings. The role of a personal tutor requires you to work with the Pastoral Lead, Personal, Academic and Professional Development Lead and the relevant careers and well-being teams to ensure students are supported throughout their journey in Sixth Form.
• A significant focus of this role requires you to support students to make UCAS and apprenticeship applications.
• Contribution to the delivery of a range of support services including the Sixth Form Lets Talk programme and Exam Support Rota, ensuring a consistent approach to providing well-being support for all students.
• Contribution to the design and delivery of a complimentary enrichment programme for PAPD. This includes sourcing and securing relevant guest speakers for weekly virtual assemblies, hosting enrichment competitions and clubs, and supporting educational trips and visits.

We are looking for someone who has experience of working in a student-centred environment. Whilst prior experience of delivering workshops, coaching students or UCAS would be desirable, we are keen to hear from applicants who can display transferable skills of pro-activity, initiative and building positive relationships. These skills are crucial to working effectively with teachers, support staff and students.

The Sixth Form is a priority department for Loughborough College and we are looking for candidates who will work to build on successful outcomes within this area and embrace exciting and innovative modes of delivery. The College is striving to attract, develop and retain the very best people by offering a motivating and inclusive workplace in which talent is truly recognised.

We are committed to promoting a diverse and inclusive community with the belief that diversity plays an important role in the success of our business. We are proud to have achieved the Investor in Diversity award. We actively encourage applications from current under-represented groups and are using positive action under the Equality Act. We welcome everyone to consider becoming a part of our journey.

Alongside our commitment to your professional and personal development, we also offer a generous benefits package including:

• A competitive pension scheme
• On-site parking
• One campus facility
• Subsidised nursery fees
• Up to 25 days annual leave per year
• Additional annual leave available
• Fantastic CPD and inclusive resources for development
• Well-being hours
• Opportunities of volunteering within local community and charities

We offer a range of family friendly, inclusive employment policies, flexible working arrangements and agile working where the business allows. We provide staff forums, staff working groups for sustainability, staff steering groups for Investors in Diversity and support services to support mental health and wellbeing for staff from different backgrounds.

We have consistently invested in providing our learners and employees with outstanding and modern facilities and resources. The successful candidate will be employed by The Leicestershire College, a subsidiary company of Loughborough College.
