Learning Coach - Teaching Assistant

Axcis education have an exciting long-term opportunity for the right candidate, to join an education alternative provision in Exeter, supporting secondary aged students with social and emotional needs. Your job role will be a Learning Coach providing safeguarding, behaviour management, and a trusting relationship for students to grow educationally, independently and as young people in the community. Focussing on their self-esteem, engagement, and communication.

The provision is growing their team and has a great reputation in Exeter. They also have fun activities which as a learning coach you will be part of. This includes community support, school trips, 2 half-days of P.E in the local Gym. They follow the national curriculum, but classes are mixed ability. Class sizes are small, independence is key here, giving students the opportunity to manage emotions and build spirits as they step in to independence after school.

To be considered for this role we need someone who can build strong, trusting relationships with vulnerable young people, have a good understanding in safeguarding and hold professional boundaries with resilience when needed, but able to laugh at yourself and not take things to heart too easily. The ideal learning coach will be looking for a long-term job role with the enthusiasm to progress in the company, come from a sporty background and have experience within SEND or mental health. Being a driver is an advantage, as you can lead community trips 1-1 in your car, but this is not essential.

This is for an ASAP start to work the rest of the summer term then come back to work in September. You will work Monday to Friday with weekends off from 8:45 - 4:15.
