Glenmoor and Winton Academies are looking to appoint two outstanding and highly motivated individuals to join our dedicated and effective SEND team. The positions are for a Learning Coach role with a special interest in Social, Emotional and Mental Health.
These are exciting opportunities for two Learning Coaches to join our outstanding schools and be part of England's biggest Multi Academy Trust. These roles would suit someone with previous experience working in a school, or alternatively they would be ideal roles for a recent graduate who is looking to explore a career in education or potentially get on the career path to teaching. Furthermore, Glenmoor and Winton Academies offer the opportunity to complete teacher training via ‘United Teaching’. Working as a Learning Coach could count as invaluable experience for this if you are looking to pursue a career in teaching.
About the Role
As a Learning Coach, you will work closely with students who require additional support to access education successfully.
Many of the students supported through this role may have:

- ADHD
- Literacy difficulties, including Dyslexia
- Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs
- Anxiety and emotionally based barriers to engagement
- Difficulties with organisation and executive functioning
- Communication and interaction needs.
The role requires a relationship-based approach which balances support with high expectations and promotes increasing independence over time.
You will provide support in lessons, during social times and through targeted interventions, helping students to develop the confidence, resilience and skills required to succeed in school and prepare for adulthood.
Main Responsibilities
The successful candidate will:
- Build positive, trusting and professional relationships with vulnerable young people.
- Support students in lessons to access learning successfully.
- Work collaboratively with teachers to implement strategies identified through EHCPs, SEN Support plans and other support programmes.
- Deliver targeted interventions to support literacy, emotional regulation, social communication and organisation.
- Support students to develop executive functioning skills including planning, organisation, revision and independent study.
- Promote attendance, engagement and participation in school life.
- Facilitate positive social interactions and help students develop safe and healthy relationships.
- Support students during unstructured times including break and lunch where required.
- Assist students in recognising and managing emotions using agreed regulation strategies.
- Contribute to review meetings and the monitoring of student progress.
- Support students to develop confidence, resilience and increasing independence.
- Contribute to preparation for adulthood activities, including employability, community participation and Post-16 transition planning.
We Are Looking For Someone Who:
- Has experience working with children or young people.
- Has a genuine interest in supporting students with SEND.
- Understands the importance of positive relationships in supporting learning and wellbeing.
- Has an interest in Autism Spectrum Condition, SEMH, ADHD or barriers to engagement.
- Can remain calm, patient and supportive during difficult situations.
- Is able to work collaboratively as part of a team.
- Is reflective and committed to continuous professional development.
- Believes in high expectations and inclusive practice.
- Is committed to helping young people develop independence rather than dependence upon adult support.
